Taaibosch Crescendo 2020

A polished, Cabernet Franc–led Bordeaux-style blend from Stellenbosch, South Africa. Crescendo 2020 balances vivid red fruit, silky tannins, and fresh acidity with a long, harmonious finish.

Cranberry, raspberry, and red currant unfold alongside dark chocolate, hazelnut, and peppermint. Tobacco, dry sage, and subtle smoky notes add depth to its refined, medium-bodied palate. Beautifully balanced for drinking now, with structure for further aging.

Blend & Winemaking

49% Cabernet Franc, 36% Merlot, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged in French oak, including 225-liter barrels, foudres, and cement for purity, finesse, and finely managed tannins.

At the Table

Pair with braised beef, short ribs, roast lamb, venison, or savory mushroom dishes. Aged cheddar and Gruyère are equally inviting companions.
