1963 the year of the Shackleton crash was also the year when Stettyn laid their foundations for Stettyn Wine Cellar. The Rolls Royce – Griffon engines of the Shackleton pairs well with our Griffin icon that keep a guardian eye on the Stettyn treasure. We would like to give back to the community, with a donation for each bottle sold towards The Friends of the SAAF Museum.

Tasting notes

A brilliant pale straw colour, with a promising nose of quince and stone fruit following through with a well-balanced textured pallet. A refreshing finish which keeps the Shackleton memories lingering on the aftertaste.

Food pairing suggestions

• Greek chicken with lemon potatoes
• Surf and turf
• Pasta with cream sauce
• Seafood risotto or seafood pasta

Climate/conditions

Mediterranean climate with winter rainfall situated between the cooler, wetter Boland and the harsher, drier Karoo. Cool nights enhance the veraison with warmer days for good phenolic ripeness and concentrated flavours.

Winemaking

Made with optimal ripe Chenin Blanc grapes. Allowing a period of post-fermentation contact between wine and fermentation lees in 2nd fill French barrels for 6 months to enhance the stone fruit aromas and attractive body and texture of this Chenin.
