19 Crimes The Punishment Pinot Noir 2022 is a smooth and expressive red wine that adds a refined edge to the bold, rebellious spirit that defines the 19 Crimes brand. Produced in South Eastern Australia, this Pinot Noir is crafted from grapes that benefit from the region’s warm climate tempered by cool evening breezes, conditions that preserve acidity while allowing the fruit to ripen with complexity and depth. The result is a Pinot Noir that is approachable yet layered, balancing elegance with character in a way that sets it apart within the 19 Crimes range.
The name “The Punishment” ties directly into the brand’s historic storytelling, which is inspired by the British convicts exiled to Australia in the 18th and 19th centuries for committing one of 19 specific crimes. Each bottle of 19 Crimes wine carries a tale of resilience and defiance, and The Punishment Pinot Noir continues this tradition by embodying the legacy of those who endured hardship but transformed their fate through strength and survival.
As part of the expanding 19 Crimes lineup, The Punishment Pinot Noir 2022 brings a fresh dimension to the collection, offering a varietal expression that appeals to both long-time fans of the brand and new drinkers seeking a wine with personality, story, and style. Its balance of heritage and modern appeal ensures that it remains a standout choice for any occasion, from casual gatherings to more refined settings.
19 Crimes The Punishment Pinot Noir 2022 brings a softer, more refined edge to the brand’s bold lineup. It opens with aromas of ripe strawberry, cherry, and raspberry, lifted by subtle floral notes and a hint of spice. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and silky, showcasing red berry fruit balanced with gentle oak tones of vanilla and a touch of mocha. The tannins are smooth and approachable, leading into a long, elegant finish that lingers with fruit and spice in harmony.
This Pinot Noir is versatile and food-friendly. As a Starter, it pairs beautifully with roasted beet salad, prosciutto-wrapped melon, or mushroom bruschetta. For the Main Course, it complements herb-roasted chicken, grilled salmon, duck breast with cherry glaze, or pork tenderloin, where its red fruit and subtle spice highlight the richness of the dishes. In the Cheese course, it works well with brie, camembert, or mild goat cheese. For Dessert, it pairs elegantly with strawberry shortcake, cherry clafoutis, or dark chocolate-dipped raspberries, where its berry-driven profile enhances indulgent flavors.
