d'Arenberg The Hermit Crab Marsanne/Viognier 2008
Varietal: Rhone White Blends
Vineyard: d'Arenberg
Region: McLaren Vale, Australia
A blend of 72% Viognier and 28% Marsanne.
Expressive aromatics of lime and lemon with peaches, pears and apricot stone jumping out of the glass and spicy, floral notes in the background. Great balance on the palate, the luscious stone fruit and ginger spices harmonized by savory nuty characters from the Marsanne. Wonderful combination of freshness, complexity and balance between fruit flavor, acid and alcohol.
