Felons, running roughshod over London town, were menacing good people, wreaking havoc and, caught by the scores, clogging every jail in the kingdom. This created a civic dilemma of colossal proportions. Meanwhile, two oceans away, a newly claimed and virgin continent beckoned. Yet the voyage was endless and brutal, the rewards meager to nil. The savagely elegant solution: punishment by transportation. A list of 19 Crimes was drawn. Conviction meant a long and often dangerous journey to a distant and unknown land. From the late 1700s to the late 1800s approximately 162,000 men and women were transported via prison ships to a desolate island for a violation of one of 19 Crimes. Australia, thus, was born. 19 Crimes wine celebrates Australia's infamous origin, and the stories of these men and women convicts-turned-colonists Defiant by nature, bold in character. Always uncompromising. Witness bright red to crimson hues: heed the intense, lifted vanilla aromas balanced with riper red to dark berry fruits that rise in defiance from the glass. The vanilla aromatics carry through on the palate and complement subtle flavors of chocolate and cedary spice. Full and round on the palate, with a distinct sweetness giving a rich and round mouthfeel. The palate finishes soft, fruity and so fresh, it should be a crime.
