19 Crimes - The Banished Dark Red, 6 x 75cl

Nineteen crimes turned criminals into colonists. Upon conviction, these men 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 who made it to shore, a new world awaited. As pioneers in a frontier colony, they forged a new country and new lives, brick by brick. This wine honours the history they wrote and the culture they built.

The Banished - Dark Red 2020 offers an intense lifted dark chocolate and vanilla aromatics balanced with blackberry and plum fruits. Dark red shrouded by purple hues, full and round on the palate with a distinct sweetness making the wine rich and mouth coating. The palate has a long rich plush finish with dark forest fruits.
