D’Arenberg “The Hermit Crab” Viognier/Marsanne 2022 McLaren Vale, Australia
“The Hermit Crab” white is a Rhone-inspired blend of 67% Viognier and 33% Marsanne. It wafts from the glass with charming floral notes that lead into expressive peachy flavors layered with melon and lemon curd on a medium body. The grapes were harvested early in McLaren Vale’s warm climate, and that retained acidity combines with salty minerals on the finish. Eight months in French oak adds to the rich texture of Hermit Crab. This is a terrific alternative to Chardonnay. The Osborn family have tended vineyards in McLaren Vale since 1912. Today fourth generation family member Chester makes D’Arenberg’s wines using traditional methods both in the vineyard and the winery.
