19 Crimes Sauv Block is a Sauvignon Blanc that embodies the spirit of rebellion, just like the rest of the 19 Crimes range. This wine is produced in the heart of Australia, a country known for its unique winemaking history and diverse wine regions. Sauvignon Blanc, a classic grape varietal, is taken to new heights with this bottle, offering bright, juicy flavours that are both refreshing and flavourful.
The 19 Crimes brand is inspired by the historical figures who were exiled to Australia as punishment for committing one of the 19 crimes. Each bottle tells the story of a real-life convict, and the Sauv Block represents those who defied expectations to start anew. This rebellious nature is evident in the wine itself, with bold tropical notes, crisp acidity, and a clean finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
