d'Arenberg 'The Hermit Crab' Viognier Blend (2018)

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, addingfreshness and a clean crisp finish. Slight pithy feel which builds on the spice notes.

Tasting Notes

93 James Suckling
Density and freshness to the layered and delicious white that shows cream, lemon-curd, cooked-pear and sliced-apple character. Medium to full body. Flavorful finish.

91 Wine & Spirits
Scents of pale yellow cherries and white cranberries fill this generous blend of marsanne and viognier. It has the oiliness of lemon rind, as well as a lanolin fatness that’s moderated by the spicy grape-skin tannins. Chill it for meaty roast fish.

90 Wine Spectator
Effusive, juicy and ripe, with peach, apricot and melon flavors that are generous and plump. Floral and spice notes emerge on the finish. Shows terrific harmony and persistence. Viognier and Marsanne. Drink now.
