Overview

Overview

19 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 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.

Taste Description

Taste Description

Nose

Brooding and ethereal, the bouquet is concentrated with attractive dark cherry, rhubarb and hints of muddled strawberry. Savoury notes and fine grained French oak add complexity and polish.

Flavours and Palate

Full and round on the palate with a distinct sweetness giving a rich and round mouth feel. The vanilla aromatics carry through on the palate and compliment subtle flavours of chocolate and a cedary spice. The palate finishes soft and fruity with a pleasant lingering freshness.
