The rich, luxurious crimson of cuprite mirrors the silk‑velvet texture of our Merlot; a world‑class, cool‑climate expression from Elgin.
Maroon‑edged and deep crimson in the glass, the wine unfolds with developed black‑fruit aromas: ripe plum, Morello cherry and a whisper of prune, complemented by subtle dark chocolate. On the palate it is richly ripe and opulent, delivering concentrated fruit weight and a sumptuous, silky texture. The long finish reveals vanilla and sweet wood, with an intriguing truffle note that lingers.
Elegant, plush and utterly refined, the First Quantum exemplifies Oneiric’s cool‑climate Merlot: powerful yet graceful, perfect for immediate enjoyment and equally suited to patient cellaring.
