d’Arenberg ‘The Hermit Crab’ Viognier Marsanne 2023, McLaren Vale 

d'Arenberg The Hermit Crab

An exciting style with a bouquet of flowers, poached fruits, apricot, white nectarine, a sea-air quality, and apple. Medium-weighted with a decent line of acidity and freshness, flavours mirror the bouquet, highlighted by a gentle white spice quality. Clay and sand mineral flavours then a return to the fresh fruits—a lovely wine with personality and length. Best drinking from the day of purchase through 2028. Fantastic value!
