The Mothership is an exceptional, small-production Chenin Blanc from Stellenrust’s ArtiSons range, made from 100% Chenin Blanc grown on 1964-planted bush vines in the granite-rich Bottelary Hills of Stellenbosch. The old, unirrigated vines produce naturally low yields and highly concentrated fruit.
The wine combines white peach, pear and stone fruit with citrus, mineral and subtle lees characters. Fermentation takes place with wild yeast in 2,000-litre foudre and concrete eggs, followed by extended maturation on the gross lees, giving the wine impressive texture and depth while retaining Chenin's characteristic freshness and acidity.
Fabulous wines, great prices, 2 day delivery door to door . Never fails to satisfy.

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.

You can even ask for some specific wines and they will try to source them for you! The ordering and delivery process is seamless . Thank you Steve and team!

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.
