Description
For you word nerds out there who like wine names to include subtle wordplay, 'The Hermit Crab' not only references the reclusive little crustacean that long ago lived in what are now limestone-laden McLaren Vale vineyards, it's also shorthand for the French appellation of Hermitage, where the Marsanne grape variety dominates. This peachy, sunny wine was McLaren Vale's first ever blend of Viognier and Marsanne.

Tasting Notes
This perennially food-friendly, richly textured wine never fails to balance its power with a crisp soul. The 2021 vintage offers a more defined, even delicate, floral tone than before, along with tropical fruit, honeysuckle, citrus, ginger spice and mineral. A wine to enjoy over the next 2-3 years with spicy sushi.
