A poised and elegant Chenin Blanc from the historic Babylonstoren estate in Paarl, crafted in a fresh yet textured style that reflects the farm’s meticulous, low-intervention approach. This is a Chenin of clarity, balance, and quiet complexity.
Tasting Notes Delicate aromas of white peach, pear, and citrus blossom are layered with hints of honeyed apple and wet stone. The palate is finely textured, combining ripe orchard fruit with vibrant acidity and a subtle mineral edge that carries through to a long, dry finish.
Winemaking Grapes are carefully selected and gently handled to preserve purity of fruit. Fermentation and maturation are managed to build texture without overt oak influence, allowing the vineyard character and freshness to shine.

Placed our first order with Rainbow Nation Wines earlier this week, and have to say I am super impressed with the process. Quite a big order with some single and double selections as well as a couple of cases. Smaller order arrived after 2 days via An Post, and the larger order of the cases is out for delivery today with DPD.

Amazing selection of wines. I have ordered from them twice now and the wine arrived before the estimated delivery day, and very well packaged. And I should mention the great pricing for premium wines.
