Stellenrust The Mothership Chenin Blanc 2023

The Mothership is de ultieme Chenin Blanc uit de ArtiSons-galerij van Stellenrust, afkomstig van bush vines uit 1964 op graniet in de Bottelary Hills. Je proeft rijpe witte perzik en perendrop op een kern van steenfruit, met strakke mineraliteit en een levendige, fijn gecoate zurenlijn. Bij Perfectewijn kies je hiermee voor een pure, geconcentreerde Chenin in een moderne, textuurgedreven stijl.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven komen van oude bush vines uit 1964 in de Bottelary Hills (Stellenbosch), zonder irrigatie en zonder opbinding. Granietbodems geven spanning en een ziltig-minerale lijn, terwijl lage rendementen zorgen voor intens fruit. ArtiSons is de creatieve speelkamer van Stellenrust, waar Tertius en Kobe kleine cuvées maken uit hun meest karaktervolle percelen. The Mothership is daarbinnen het kroonjuweel, bedoeld om de essentie van Bottelary-Chenin te laten spreken.

Vinificatie en rijping

De pluk gebeurt tussen 22 en 24 Balling, met 6 tot 12 uur schilweking voor extra aromadiepte en textuur. De gisting verloopt met wilde gisten in een 2000 liter foudre en in betonnen eieren, traag en temperatuurgeleid voor maximale precisie. Na afloop gaat de jonge wijn met zijn primaire lie naar beton voor rijping op de grove lie tot 12 maanden. Wat doet rijping op de fijne droesem in betonnen eieren precies met de smaak? De constante, zachte circulatie in het ei houdt de lie in suspensie, waardoor je meer romigheid, detail en lengte krijgt zonder dat het hout de aroma’s overneemt.

Druivensamenstelling

Chenin Blanc 100 procent, afkomstig van de Bottelary-aanplant uit 1964. Oude stokken geven kleinere bessen en meer concentratie, wat je terugziet in de diepte van het fruit en de gelaagde structuur.

Proefnotities en serveertips

Intense witte perzik en perendrop in de neus, doorgezet naar een steenfruitgedreven smaak met strakke, schone mineraliteit en een levendige, fijn gecoate zuurgraad. De textuur is rijk maar niet zwaar en de finale houdt lang aan met subtiele ziltigheid. Schenk op 10 tot 12 graden bij Thai green curry, kruidige Indiase gerechten met boterig naan, of bij tonijn met zwarte peperkorst en knapperige bladsla.

These are very thick pillows.
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
Exactly as advertised. They are very firm and very thick. They're too thick for me to be able to use as bed pillows. However, they seem to work pretty well as cushions in my papasan chair on top of its normal cushion also work very well as decorative pillows. I'm still giving them four stars because they're exactly as advertised and they seem well made. My only complaint is that they're just too thick. And that's definitely not the fault of the pillows or the pillow maker.

how good the product is
Item Package Quantity: 4, Size: Standard
These pillows are soft, fluffy, and surprisingly supportive for the price. They’re comfortable no matter how you sleep — whether on your side, back, or stomach — and they maintain their shape well overnight without going flat. The fabric cover feels smooth and breathable, keeping things cool through the night. After a few days of fluffing and use, they settle nicely into a perfect medium firmness. They also wash and dry easily without clumping. Overall, a great‑value pillow set that offers comfort, versatility, and quality — ideal if you need an affordable yet cozy bedding refresh.

Firm and comfortable
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Standard
These pillows are well made. Firm, yet comfortable. I am pretty rough with my pillows. I toss and turn frequently. After one year, they are still holding up.

Quite good. I am actually surprised. Too small for queensize
Item Package Quantity: 2, Size: Queen
These pillows are actually good. After reading a ton of reviews I pulled the trigger on these. I was 100% sure I was going to receive bad quality pillows (too flat or too thick). They do take 24-48 hours to firmen up. Let's see if they flatten out in a few weeks or if they hold up. My wife said the pillow was too thick and it raised her head too much. I don't agree, I sleep perfect on these, no neck pain in the morning. Update 04/24 These are actually quite small to be considered queen pillows. They have become firm over the last few days.
