d'Arenberg The Hermit Crab Viognier Marsanne

The d'Arenberg The Hermit Crab Viognier Marsanne is a white wine full of character from the d'Arenberg winery in McLaren Vale, Australia. This cuvée combines the aromatic richness of Viognier with the structure of Marsanne and offers an exceptional taste experience.

In the glass, the wine has a radiant golden hue. The bouquet develops intense aromas of apricot, peach, tropical fruits such as pineapple and melon as well as floral notes of jasmine and citrus blossom. On the palate, it is full-bodied and juicy with a lively acidity that harmoniously balances the fruitiness. The finish is long-lasting with nuances of spices and a subtle minerality.

The grapes for the d'Arenberg The Hermit Crab Viognier Marsanne come from vineyards with chalky soils rich in fossilized marine deposits - hence the name "The Hermit Crab". Part of the Viognier is matured in used French oak barrels to refine the structure on the palate and harmoniously integrate the fine Viognier tannins. The Marsanne component is vinified in a similar way, but is only carefully blended in the final stages of vinification.

This dry white wine is a versatile food companion and harmonizes perfectly with seafood, grilled fish, Asian cuisine or poultry dishes. It is also ideal as an aperitif.

For optimum enjoyment, we recommend serving this white wine at a temperature of 8-10 °C.

The d'Arenberg The Hermit Crab Viognier Marsanne is a prime example of the innovative strength of Australian winegrowers and offers an unmistakable taste experience.

Product recommendation

d'Arenberg The Olive Grove Chardonnay
The nose is aromatic, enriched with white flowers, tropical fruits, apples (Granny Smith) and nectarines.The palate has considerable weight with a lovely mid palate of peach, lime and a hint of brioche. Zesty acidity leads to a long zesty finish on the palate with a hint of cashew nut, and faint, fine textured tannin. The cool year is reflected in the balanced, delicate flavors of the McLaren Vale fruit.A small portion of The Olive Grove Chardonnay underwent natural fermentation and batonnage for added complexity and mouthfeel. Maturation took place in a mixture of new and used French and used American barrels and stainless steel tanks. None of d'Arenberg's white wines undergo malolactic fermentation, as the retention of fresh, natural acidity is considered an integral part of the wine's balance and longevity.
