Red wine | South Eastern Australia
Step back in time and uncork a bottle of 19 Crimes, a wine that embodies the rebellious spirit of 18th-century Australia. Each bottle tells a story of the daring individuals who, for committing one of 19 crimes, were sentenced to transportation across the seas to a harsh and unforgiving land. These weren't hardened criminals, but often petty thieves or those caught in desperate circumstances, forced to forge a new life in the penal colony.
19 Crimes is more than just a wine; it's a tribute to the resilience and determination of these forgotten figures. This wine is a blend created with different grape varietals to create a harmonious taste. The fruit forward with red berry, plum, and raisin characters balanced by vanilla notes. On the palate there are noticeable chocolate notes from the oak.
This wine is a perfect companion for those who enjoy a bold, flavorful red that pairs well with a variety of dishes. Its robust character makes it an excellent choice for grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses. Imagine savoring a glass alongside a juicy steak, the tannins cutting through the richness of the meat, or sharing a bottle with friends over a rustic pasta dish. Its versatility also allows it to complement spicier dishes, making it a fantastic partner for barbecue ribs or even a flavorful chili.
But the appeal of 19 Crimes goes beyond its taste and pairing capabilities. It's a conversation starter, a glimpse into a bygone era, and a reminder of the human spirit's capacity to overcome adversity. By choosing 19 Crimes, you're not just selecting a wine; you're embracing a legacy of courage, defiance, and the unwavering pursuit of a second chance. So, gather your friends, share the story, and raise a glass to the brave souls who shaped a nation and left their mark on history.
