Oneiric Cousin Jack image

Oneiric Cousin Jack

Elgin, South Africa

50% Merlot and 50% Cab Sauv, this is a top South African 'Bordeaux Blend' that easily competes with the bigger names from this part of the world.

Oneiric Cousin Jack is a red blend from Elgin, South Africa, combining Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grown in this cool-climate maritime region. The wine benefits from Elgin’s long, slow ripening season, producing ripe fruit balanced by fresh acidity and fine tannins.

Aromas of black cherry, plum, and subtle cedar. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins, layers of dark fruit, hints of spice, and a fresh, savoury finish.

Contains sulphites.

  • Roast lamb with herbs
  • Grilled beef steaks
  • Mature cheddar or aged gouda
  • Mushroom stroganoff
  • Venison with juniper sauce

The “Cousin Jack” name honours the Cornish miners who settled in Elgin in the 1800s. This blend showcases how Elgin’s cooler climate can create refined, structured reds with both ripe fruit and elegance.

    A sophisticated wine with layers of Christmas cake, deep plum, lead shavings and blackcurrant. Tannins are soft with cedar wood and cigar box notes and a long, decadent, velvet finish.
  • Oneiric Shiraz - from £29.99
    Deep fruit, leather, cherry, tobacco leaf and blackcurrant finished off elegantly, with white pepper and star anise. This is a fantastic example of the Rhone varietal with a velvet palate and savoury finish that leaves you wanting more.
  • Oneiric Merlot - from £45.00
    Dark cherry juice layered with mocha dark chocolate, violet and a slight crème de menthe on the finish. Great balance, no hint of greenness. A really soft and vivacious wine with a luscious finish of vanilla and, truffle and sweet wood.
