19 Crimes Revolutionary Rose 75cl / 750ml

Step into the intriguing tale of John Boyle O’Reilly, an Irishman turned poet and activist, whose journey to Australia on the Hougoumont in 1867 unfolded due to his involvement in the Fenian Conspiracy against British rule in Ireland. Sentenced to 20 years for his convictions, O’Reilly became one of the many transformed from criminals to colonists, as British rogues found an alternative fate in Australia for at least one of the 19 crimes they committed. Dating back to 1788, the punishment of ‘transportation’ claimed lives at sea, but for those who reached the shores, a new world awaited. As pioneers in a frontier penal colony, they shaped a new country and lives, defying the rules they broke and building a unique culture brick by brick. This wine pays homage to their defiance. A pale salmon pink hue invites you to savor the fragrant summer fruits of strawberry and red cherry, complemented by subtle floral notes. The palate unfolds with vibrant, lively berry fruits, delivering a soft and creamy texture that concludes with a crisp and refreshing finish. To sip this wine is not just a pleasure—it’s a celebration of the rules broken and the culture forged by those who dared to defy. It would be a crime not to indulge!
