19 Crimes Cali Blanc 750ml

Nineteen crimes turned convicts into colonists. Upon conviction, British rogues guilty of at least one of the 19 crimes were sentenced to live in Australia rather than face death. This punishment by "transportation" began in 1787, and many of the lawless perished at sea. For those rough-hewn prisoners who survived the journey, a new world awaited. As pioneers in a frontier penal colony, they forged a new country and new lives, brick by brick. This wine celebrates the rules they broke and the culture they built.
