Fermentation is long and moderately cool to retain fresh fruit characters. About 4% underwent wild fermentation for extra complexity. 14% of the Viognier is fermented in aged French Oak to add mouth feel and support the subtle Viognier tannins. The Marsanne component received similar treatment, but was not blended until the final stages of the winemaking process.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel panel-default\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"collapse-three\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\" role=\"tabpanel\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panel-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany of McLaren Vale's vineyards are on free-draining soils underlain with limestone, formed by the calcareous remains of the local marine fauna. One such creature was the Hermit Crab, a reclusive little crustacean that inhabits the cast-off shells of others. The Osborn family thought the name appropriate for this, McLaren Vale's first ever blend of Viognier and Marsanne. \"Hermit\" is also an abbreviation for the French appellation of Hermitage, where the Marsanne grape variety dominates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Maverick Beverage Company","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43308757844177,"sku":null,"price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0660\/8561\/7873\/files\/ChatGPTImageSep17_2026_03_41_55PM.jpg?v=1789677767","url":"https:\/\/www.pogoswine.com\/products\/darenberg-the-hermit-crab-marsanne-viognier-mclaren-vale-2025-750ml","provider":"Pogos Wine \u0026 Spirits","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
