Taaibosch Crescendo 2019

R430.00

Region: Helderberg

Tasting note:
“Crescendo shows a big, dense, complex nose with deep dark aromatics of black berries, creme de cassis, sweet cedar and grilled herbs intertwined with graphite, macerated black cherries and a dusty crushed gravel minerality. On the palate the wine is incredibly cool, broad and creamy showing immense power and dry extract concentration on the mid-palate together with wonderfully fine grained spicy mineral tannins and a very long, harmonious focused finish.” – Greg Sherwood

Taaibosch, previously known as Cordoba, is located on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch. The unique position of the fifty-nine hectare estate provides ideal conditions for growing Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. At an altitude of 300m above sea level, the vineyards benefit from the gentle cooling sea breezes. Owners, the Oddo family, also run an extensive programme to rehabilitate the indigenous fynbos species, one of which lends its name to the venture. The soil on Taaibosch is withered Malmesbury shale, setting it apart from the other vineyards in the region. Vineyards are predominantly westerly facing.
The Crescendo, a classical wine, has remained true to its composition since it was first produced in the 1990s. A Bordeaux blend of note, dominated by Cabernet franc, amplified by Merlot and complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon.
