19 Crimes Shiraz

19 Crimes Shiraz is a bold, full-bodied red wine made from handpicked Shiraz grapes grown in the sun-drenched vineyards of South Eastern Australia. Known for its deep character and rich fruit profile, this wine reflects the heritage of Australian winemaking, particularly from historic Shiraz-producing regions. The grapes are harvested at peak ripeness to ensure maximum flavor and to provide layers of depth and smooth complexity; a portion of the wine is aged in oak barrels.

This Shiraz, with an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 13.5%, offers a rich and approachable drinking experience by striking a perfect balance between intensity and elegance. It pours with a bright crimson hue and opens with expressive aromas of ripe raspberries, dark plums, and soft vanilla. The flavors of red berries, cocoa, subtle spice, and hints of chocolate and oak that linger through the finish are present on the silky, smooth palate. Fine tannins round out the wine, giving it a well-structured and slightly sweet profile.

Grilled meats, lamb chops, barbecued ribs, smoked brisket, and sharp cheeses pair well with 19 Crimes Australia oak-aged Shiraz. With its rich, fruity, and spicy flavor, it's an excellent choice for a family dinner at the dining table or an outdoor BBQ.

In addition to serving as a wine, 19 Crimes Shiraz honors the stories of courage and tenacity of the British prisoners who were sent to Australia. Every bottle embodies the pure, rebellious spirit that lives in every sip, telling a tale of that legacy.
