D'Arenberg Hermit Crab Viognier Marsanne 750ml

Since 1912 the Osborn family have tended vineyards in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Today fourth generation family member Chester makes distinctive wines using traditional methods both in the vineyard and the winery. Small batches of grapes are crushed gently, chilled and then basket pressed. To add complexity and mouthfeel a small percentage of Viognier and Marsanne is fermented and matured in French oak for eight months. Many of McLaren Vale's vineyards are underlain with limestone formed by calcerous remains of local marine fauna, such as hermit crabs.
