The Uprising, a new wine aged for 30 days in Rum Barrels, pays homage to Australia’s Rum Rebellion of 1808. Due to the Government’s hindering of the rum trade, citizens and soldiers banded together to overthrow them. 19 Crimes aged a portion of this wine in Rum barrels lending a warm brown sugar finish to this dark jammy wine.
The man on the label is a member of the Fenian Brotherhood from Skibbereen in Ireland, who played a prominent role in the Fenian movement from the beginning. Arrested in 1864, he was found guilty and sentenced to ten years in prison and deported to Australia.
