d’Arenberg Hermit Crab 2008

Written by Ray Johnson

Australia | Marsanne | McLaren Vale | Rhone Blend | South Australia | Viognier

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 mouth-filling.
