Food Production - Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
‘Oneiric', borrowed from Greek terminology and roughly translated as ‘dream' is exactly that – a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the cool-climate Elgin Valley. This family-owned boutique wine farm has been in ownership of the Pascall family since 2007. The entire vintage since it's release in 2012 has received huge acclaim and has set Oneiric, although new to the wine scene, well on its way to becoming one of South Africa's finest wines. In recognition of the families many generations of mining stock, we introduced our Copper label collection, with each varietal's label playing on a different copper derivative or sulphide; from Fools Gold and Malachite to the rich blue of Azurite and the Copper coloured Cousin Jack. A unique and somewhat daring move away from the common label which has tongues wagging and have literally taken the wine world by storm. Oneiric's vineyards are unique in that the slopes suit the varieties planted there to a tee, the cooler sites house the Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay and the warmer sites the red cultivars. The Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay show great freshness and natural acidity and the Red wines are of a fuller style with dark fruit and spice not generally encountered in the Elgin area. The Oneiric Wines reflect their terroir and maintain an overall balance making them great food wines. The Oneiric winery offers a tasting barn, a gift shop, picnic areas, walk ways, trout dams and views over the Kogelberg Biosphere, part of the UNESCO world heritage site and home to the greatest variety of plant species in the world, which often leave guests speechless. "@OneiricWines is the Shangri-La of Elgin. 360 degree views and a Sauvignon Blanc and Cab Sauv you would swap your children for." David Bullard, columnist.
