Taaibosch Crescendo

Cabernet Franc shines through in this Cape Bordeaux blend, showcasing refined tannins perfectly complemented by elegant oak integration (26% new). With a delightful fragrance and remarkable finesse, it hails from the renowned former Cordoba estate on the Helderberg, famed for its exceptional Bordeaux style reds. This majestic estate is situated at the foot of the Helderberg Mountain, with panoramic views stretching to Cape Point, Table Mountain, Robben Island and the Stellenbosch Hills. Here the vineyards are planted at an altitude of 300 meters above sea level, facing False Bay to the South West. It is this unique location and positioning which provides the vineyards with the gentle cooling sea breezes, which enables optimal slow ripening during the summer months.*Tip: Decant this wine for at least 2 hours to bring out it's wonderful flavours.
