Why You'll Love It
Generous fruit meets fine, measured structure in this polished Stellenbosch blend. Redcurrant and blueberry sit over a silky texture, with fresh acidity and powdery tannins keeping the finish focused. Give it time in a decanter and serve with roast lamb, beef or a rich mushroom dish.
About The Producer
Taaibosch occupies the historic Cordoba estate on the Helderberg in Stellenbosch. Under the Oddo family's ownership and winemaker Schalk-Willem Joubert, the focus is on restoring the property's reputation through careful organic farming and precise winemaking. Cooling breezes from False Bay help the grapes ripen slowly, while the preservation of indigenous fynbos is central to the estate's approach. Cabernet Franc leads Crescendo, its flagship red blend.
Winemaking Information
The 2021 blend is 54% Cabernet Franc, 33% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. Hand-picked grapes are handled by gravity, cold-soaked and fermented in stainless steel and concrete, with extended skin contact afterwards. The wine spends 13 months in 225-litre French oak barrels, 30% new, before blending and a further 12 months in large oak foudres and concrete. Bottled at 13.5% ABV.
