Taaibosch 'Crescendo' - Red Blend

This 2018 red blend hails from Stellenbosch, South Africa. It consists of 43% Cabernet Franc, 36% Merlot, and 21% Cabernet Sauvignon. All grapes are hand - harvested, and the winemakers practice low - intervention winemaking. They've been crafting this Bordeaux - style blend since the early 90s. With a soft texture, it offers brambly fruit flavors along with graphite notes. It pairs perfectly with grilled dishes.

To enjoy this Taaibosch 'Crescendo' red blend, simply chill it slightly before serving. Pour it into a wine glass and let it breathe for a few minutes to enhance the flavors. When pairing, go for any grilled food like steak, chicken or vegetables. Keep the wine in a cool, dark place. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures. If you have an open bottle, cork it tightly and store it in the fridge, and try to finish it within a few days.
