d'Arenberg The Hermit Crab Viognier Marsanne
This food-friendly Rhone style blend out of The McLaren Vale is a classic in this style, rich in texture, yet crisp and refreshing. Candied ginger, white peach, pear and floral aromas combine with exotic scents of almond, green mango, and hay, offering a luxurious bouquet, while the medium bodied palate is slightly sweet with flavours of honeydew melon, just ripe stone fruit and pickled ginger, with a bit of spice adding to a fine acidity to provide a mild pithy texture. It finishes dry, adding some pleasing, mouth-watering grip to the back palate, making this wine perfect for a ginger and scallion crabmeat salad, or an endive salad with blue cheese. Just the wine for this 2018-19 summer living...
Please note this wine is only available up to half dozen lots, or in a mixed dozen.
