D'Arenberg The Hermit Crab Marsanne - Viognier, 2022

Luscious and Generous Marsanne Viognier

Bright, spicy and vibrant with a lovely long acid and elegance. As vintage progressed the concentration grew and the colour intensified, resulting in more weighty wines without overripe characters.

• Mentioned by Aoife Carrigy, Irish Independent, 13th November 2021 *
• Australian Marsanne Viognier blend
  
• 14% of the Viognier is fermented in aged French Oak

* "The name references the Rhône region of Hermitage and crustacean fossils found in limestone bedrock below dArenbergs vineyards. Barrel-fermentation and ageing in French and American oak makes for a rich, complex Viognier-Marsanne. Goes well with rich or spicy white meats." Aoife Carrigy, Irish Independent, 13th November 2021

Food Pairing: Goes well with rich or spicy white meats
