The Rum Rebellion, in a Bottle
Every 19 Crimes wine tells a true story of the British rogues convicted of one of 19 crimes and transported to Australia — and The Uprising honors the boldest chapter of all: the Rum Rebellion of 1808, when soldiers and citizens overthrew the governor over the rum trade. To mark it, a portion of this red blend spends 30 days in rum barrels, layering brown sugar, mocha and caramel over the Shiraz-led fruit. The bottle even carries the brand's augmented-reality "living label" — scan it and a true rule-breaker animates. Explore more in the red wine collection, or everything from 19 Crimes.
Tasting Notes
From the brand's official copy: medium red with bright ruby hues; intense notes of mocha and caramel complementing subtle flavors of brown sugar and cinnamon. Full and round on the palate with a distinct sweetness — rich and mouth-coating — dark with jammy berry flavors and a smoky, vanilla finish. Long, rich, plush finish of jammy blackberry and raspberry.
How to Enjoy
Serve at cool room temperature. The brand's pairing notes point to spicy food, poultry and red meat — the rum-barrel sweetness loves a charred steak or barbecue. Let it breathe for twenty minutes before the first pour.
