The Hermit Crab Mclaren Vale Viognier Marsanne

Name: D'Arenberg THE HERMIT CRAB Marsanne Viognier McLaren Vale Australia Where it's from:  Australia, South Australia, McLaren Vale Price per case: £95.88  Bottles per case: 12 x 75 cl Style: Rich Dry Whites Description: Well-balanced, restrained blend of these two perfumed varieties with honeyed apricot fruit on the palate and a lovely steely citrus character, it is a worthy gold medal winner but sadly in short supply. The Hermit Crab McLaren Vale Viognier Marsanne has a green, brilliant mid-straw colour and exhibits fresh and tropical fruit with a strong emphasis on stone fruits, pineapple, mango and honeysuckle. The youthful palate is immediately luscious with those tropical fruit, honeysuckle and stone fruit flavours balanced by fresh grapefruit and light butter tastes, before a long persistent fruit finish. Why the name Hermit Crab? Many of McLaren Vale's vineyards are on free- draining soils underlain with limestone, formed by the calcareous remains of the local fauna which lived in the shallow seas which once covered what is now McLaren Vale. One such creature was the Hermit Crab, a reclusive little critter, which still inhabits the cast off shells of other crustaceans on our coastlines. The Osborn family and Chester in particular thought this was exactly the right name for this first ever blend of these two varieties from McLaren Vale. This is because the Hermit Crab is best enjoyed with shell food and seafood dishes, and the fact that 'Hermit' is the abbreviation of the name of the region in France where the Marsanne grape predominates.
