| Description: | Our red blend bears the same traits as those banished to Australia. Defiant by nature, bold in character. Always uncompromising. It's a taste you'll never forget. Wine maker notes "19 Crimes wine takes its name from a list of 19 cr imes drawn up to address the problem of overrun jails in 18th century England. Upon conviction, British rogues guilty of those crimes were sentenced to Australia 'punishment by transportation' rather than death. This premium Australian wine celebrates the pioneering spirit of these 'bad seeds' and the wine they inspired borne out of a second chance. Dark red in the glass, its legs cascade slowly due to its concentration and power. Possessing aromas of licorice, dark fruits and vanilla, this theme carries through on the palate with loads of rich, wild fruit all wrapped in chalky, ripe tannins persistence and structure to support the concentration of flavour. A wine that boldly showcases the beauty of blending two varieties that match like hand and glove delivering a memorable wine with loads of personality." winemaker. Other text 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. Producer 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. |
