19 Crimes Dracula Red Blend NV is a special edition release that fuses the dark, daring personality of 19 Crimes with the legendary figure of Count Dracula. Produced in South Eastern Australia, this non-vintage red blend draws on the region’s sun-soaked vineyards and diverse soils, which provide the intensity and ripeness needed for a full-bodied wine with bold character. Carefully chosen varietals are blended to deliver richness and smooth structure, making this a wine that is both approachable and memorable.

The Dracula edition continues the 19 Crimes tradition of storytelling, inspired by British convicts who were punished for one of 19 specific crimes and transported to Australia in the 18th and 19th centuries. In this release, the brand extends its rebellious narrative by linking with Dracula — an iconic symbol of mystery, power, and defiance. The label itself reflects this darker edge, reinforcing the sense that this is not just a wine, but a piece of history and legend captured in a bottle.

As a collector’s piece and conversation starter, 19 Crimes Dracula Red Blend NV offers both cultural intrigue and quality winemaking. It appeals to long-time fans of the brand and newcomers drawn to its distinctive storytelling. Bold, smooth, and unforgettable, it carries forward the reputation of 19 Crimes as one of the most innovative and engaging wine brands in the world.

19 Crimes Dracula Red Blend NV is a dark, intense red that leans into a bold and brooding character, fitting its gothic name. It opens with aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum layered with hints of vanilla, mocha, and toasted spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and smooth, offering rich dark fruit flavors wrapped in notes of chocolate, coffee, and oak. Subtle spice and velvety tannins give it structure, leading into a long, slightly smoky finish that lingers with both fruit and warmth.
This blend is a natural match for hearty, indulgent dishes. As a Starter, it pairs well with spiced charcuterie, roasted mushrooms, or caramelized onion tartlets. For the Main Course, it complements braised short ribs, grilled lamb, barbecued pork, or pasta in rich tomato sauce, where its fruit and spice balance savory depth. In the Cheese course, it works beautifully with bold, aged selections such as sharp cheddar, smoked gouda, or stilton. For Dessert, it finds harmony with flourless chocolate cake, cherry cobbler, or dark chocolate mousse, echoing its richness and dark fruit profile.

19 Crimes is an Australian wine brand that blends storytelling with winemaking, inspired by the real-life tales of British convicts who were transported to Australia in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The wines are produced primarily in South Eastern Australia, a region known for its diverse climates and fertile soils that support a wide range of varietals. Grapes are sourced from select vineyards and crafted into approachable, fruit-forward wines designed for broad appeal. The winemaking process combines modern techniques with a nod to tradition, resulting in wines that are bold, expressive, and consistent from vintage to vintage.

Since its launch, 19 Crimes has become known not only for its quality wines but also for its distinctive branding. Each bottle features a historical figure connected to the convict era, with labels designed to bring their stories to life. The brand represents a fusion of heritage and innovation, offering wines that are both enjoyable to drink and rich in narrative, celebrating those who forged new lives against the odds.
