19 Crimes comes to us from one of the oldest and most storied wineries in Australia, Bailey’s of Glenrowan. It was established in 1870, by Richard Bailey –a former shop keep who supplied local gold miners. As the gold rush dried up, the resilient Bailey family turned to farming and established one of the region’s first vineyards in the harsh, unforgiving Victoria countryside.Today, Bailey’s stands among Australia’s finest wineries.
