d’Arenberg, McLaren Vale, The Hermit Crab 2008 The nose features a combo of the herbaceousness that we can find with Marsanne and the overt peaches that we often see with Viognier. The mouth shows us an oily richness overtop of peaches – thick and mouthfilling. This vintage is composed of 72% Viognier and 28% Marsanne. Grown, vinified and bottled in McLaren Vale 13.5% $12.49 at Bottle Barn d’Arenberg

I’ll second that. I had a chance to visit the winery when I was studying at Adelaide. It’s amazing when you think they must be making more wines in a single vintage than 10 Bordeaux producers combined – well that might be an exaggeration. RJ
