The 19 Crimes Behind Bars 13.5% vol. is a powerful Australian red wine that impressively carries on the rebellious heritage of the 19 Crimes brand. Inspired by the 19 crimes for which convicts were deported to Australia in the 18th century, this wine is symbolic of courage, freedom and the indomitable spirit of those who rebelled against fate. With its distinctive character, depth and modern interpretation of Australian red wine art, Behind Bars is a wine that impresses both in taste and visually.
The cuvee consists mainly of Shiraz (Syrah), supplemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Grenache, which gives the wine its rich color, spicy aroma and intense fruitiness. The grapes come from carefully selected vineyards in south-east Australia, where the warm days and cool nights ensure optimum ripening conditions. After temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine is matured in oak barrels to develop structure, complexity and a subtle spiciness. With an alcohol content of 13.5% vol., the 19 Crimes Behind Bars presents itself as a perfectly balanced composition of power, fruit and soft tannin structure.
