19 Crimes Martha’s Lighter Chardonnay 2021 is a fresh and modern white wine born from the celebrated partnership between 19 Crimes and American icon Martha Stewart. Produced in California, this Chardonnay highlights the region’s sunny vineyards, where the climate and soils allow the grapes to ripen fully while maintaining crisp acidity and balanced character. Crafted to be a “lighter” expression, this wine offers a refined, approachable style with a lower alcohol profile, making it an easy choice for relaxed enjoyment without sacrificing flavor or personality.
The collaboration between Martha Stewart and 19 Crimes reflects a shared spirit of individuality and reinvention. While the brand itself is rooted in the stories of British convicts transported to Australia for one of 19 specific crimes, the Martha’s Lighter range extends this legacy into modern culture. Martha’s presence adds a new dimension to the collection — one of confidence, sophistication, and accessibility — while maintaining the bold identity that defines 19 Crimes.
The 2021 vintage of Martha’s Lighter Chardonnay captures the varietal’s signature qualities in a clean, contemporary way. Bright, versatile, and easy to enjoy, it fits seamlessly into the 19 Crimes family while appealing to drinkers who prefer a lighter, fresher take on Chardonnay. Its sleek presentation and cultural resonance ensure it stands out both on the shelf and at the table, making it as much a statement as it is a wine.
19 Crimes Martha’s Lighter Chardonnay 2021 offers a fresher, more approachable take on Chardonnay, crafted in partnership with Martha Stewart. It opens with aromas of citrus blossom, green apple, and pear, layered with subtle notes of vanilla and soft oak. On the palate, it is smooth and medium-bodied, with flavors of ripe stone fruit, lemon zest, and a hint of honey. The style is intentionally lighter, carrying bright acidity and a clean, refreshing finish that balances fruit and gentle creaminess.
This Chardonnay pairs seamlessly with lighter dishes that highlight its crisp, fruit-driven style. As a Starter, it works well with shrimp cocktail, smoked salmon, or a fresh garden salad with citrus vinaigrette. For the Main Course, it complements roasted chicken, grilled halibut, seared scallops, or vegetable risotto, where its brightness lifts savory richness. In the Cheese course, it pairs beautifully with brie, camembert, or fresh goat cheese. For Dessert, it is ideal alongside lemon tart, vanilla panna cotta, or poached pears, echoing its citrus and fruit-driven character.
