19 Crimes The Uprising NV is one of the most distinctive wines in the 19 Crimes collection, crafted to embody the bold, rebellious spirit that has made the brand famous worldwide. Produced in South Eastern Australia, this non-vintage red blend is unique for spending a portion of its time aging in rum barrels. This additional step imparts subtle layers of spice, sweetness, and complexity, giving the wine a richer, rounder profile while still staying true to the brand’s approachable style. The blend of carefully selected varietals, combined with Australia’s warm climate and diverse soils, ensures a full-bodied wine with character and depth.
As with every bottle in the 19 Crimes portfolio, The Uprising carries forward the stories of convicts who were punished and exiled for committing one of 19 specific crimes during the 18th and 19th centuries. The name “The Uprising” is a tribute to the Rum Rebellion of 1808, when soldiers and citizens rose up against authority in Australia — an event that resonates with the themes of defiance and resilience that define the brand.
The Uprising NV has become one of the most popular wines in the collection, appreciated for its richness and distinctive barrel influence. It bridges history and modern winemaking, offering drinkers an experience that is bold, flavorful, and unforgettable. Perfect for those who want a wine with both story and substance, it continues to reflect the daring personality of 19 Crimes.
19 Crimes The Uprising NV is a bold red blend partly aged in rum barrels, giving it a distinctive character that sets it apart from the rest of the collection. It opens with aromas of dark berries, plum, and dried fruit layered with notes of brown sugar, vanilla, and baking spice from the rum cask influence. On the palate, it is rich and full-bodied, delivering flavors of blackberry jam, mocha, and warm spice wrapped in a smooth, velvety texture. The finish is lingering and slightly sweet, with hints of caramel and toasted oak that leave a lasting impression.
This rum-aged red calls for hearty and flavorful pairings. As a Starter, it works beautifully with spicy charcuterie, barbecue wings, or roasted mushroom flatbread. For the Main Course, it pairs with braised short ribs, pulled pork, grilled steak, or lamb chops, where its rich fruit and spiced sweetness balance smoky, savory dishes. In the Cheese course, it complements aged cheddar, smoked gouda, or blue cheese, enhancing its depth and barrel-driven spice. For Dessert, it shines with sticky toffee pudding, spiced chocolate cake, or bread pudding with caramel sauce, echoing its rum-cask warmth.
