  • 2018 D'arenberg
    2018 d’ARENBERG THE HERMIT CRAB VIOGNIER MARSANNE WINEMAKER: Chester Osborn REGION: McLaren Vale, South Australia VARIETALS: Viognier (62%), Marsanne (38%) MATURATION: 10% in seasoned French oak for 8 months ANALYSIS: 13.5% alc/vol | TA: 6.8 g/L | pH: 3.20 BACKGROUND: Many of McLaren Vale’s vineyards are on free-draining soils underlain with limestone, formed by the calcareous remains of the local marine fauna including the Hermit Crab, a reclusive little creature that inhabits the cast-off shells of others. Thus the Osborn family thought the name appropriate for this blend, as it is best enjoyed with shellfish and seafood dishes. WINEMAKING NOTES: Small batches of grapes were crushed and transferred to stainless steel basket presses. Fermentation was long and moderately cool to retain fresh fruit characters. 4% underwent wild fermentation for extra complexity. 14% of the Viognier was fermented in seasoned French oak to add mouth feel and support the subtle Viognier tannins. Both components received similar treatment, but were not blended until the final stages of the winemaking process. TASTING NOTES: An incredibly fragrant nose full of sweet apricot and gingery spice. The palate is luscious and generous, but has great acid which tightens the wine, adding freshness and a clean crisp finish. Slight pithy feel which builds on the spice notes. CRITICAL ACCLAIM: 93 pts JamesSucking.com, 91 pts/Best Buy Wine & Spirits, 90 pts Wine Spectator ABOUT d’ARENBERG: One of the undisputed kings of Australian Shiraz and Rhone varietals, d’Arenberg has managed to turn individuality into an art form by doing a whole lot of little things differently.
