19 Crimes The Uprising Red 2021

South Eastern Australia

19 Crimes The Uprising Red is a bold red wine blend from Australia. It has been aged in rum barrels, imparting unique spicy undertones to complement its rich berry flavors. This wine commemorates the historic uprising of 1808 and showcases the vibrant winemaking tradition of the region.

Nineteen crimes turned criminals into colonists. Upon conviction, British rogues, guilty of at least one of the 19 crimes, were sentenced to live in Australia, rather than death. For the rough-hewn prisoners who made it to shore, a new world awaited. As pioneers in a frontier penal colony, they forged a new country and new lives, brick by brick. This wine is borne of the rules they broke and the culture they built. And like our legendary rogues, it’s a taste that’ll live forever in infamy. The men on our labels are not those of fiction. They were flesh and blood. Criminals and scholars. In history, they share a bond - receiving “punishment by transportation.” It could have shattered their spirits. It didn’t. Today, we toast those men and the principles they lived by.

Perfect for pairing with hearty dishes, this wine is exceptionally suited to accompany barbecued meats, savory cheese platters, or dark chocolate desserts. Serve at room temperature to best enjoy its complex flavor profile.
