19 Crimes The Uprising Red Blend
19 Crimes The Uprising is a Shiraz-dominant blend that offers bright raspberry fruit and a plush tannin structure. Cabernet Sauvignon adds depth with blackberry notes, palate weight, and structure, while Grenache contributes a touch of spice and fruit sweetness for a well-rounded finish.
The nose has intense lifted mocha, caramel and baking spice notes. On the palate the wine is full and mouth coating with brown sugar, jammy blackberry and chocolate notes.
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. This punishment by ‘transportation’ began in 1788, and many of the lawless died at sea. 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 celebrates the rules they broke and they culture they built.
