19 CRIMES THE UPRISING RUM AGED RED WINE
In Stock!
750ML, Single, Bottle
The Uprising, a new wine aged for 30 days in Rum Barrels, pays homage to Australia’s Rum Rebellion of 1808. Due to the Government's hindering of the rum trade, citizens and soldiers banded together to overthrow them. We aged a portion of this wine in Rum barrels lending a warm brown sugar finish to this dark jammy wine. Country: Australia
Region: South Eastern Australia
Varietal: Red Blend

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.
