d'Arenberg, The Hermit Crab 2021 is a dry, lush, full-bodied Viognier and Marsanne blend, rich and silky smooth on the palate with white florals, tropical fruit, fresh pineapple, melon, white-fleshed stone fruit, ginger spice, lemon curd and minerally flavours long and elegant on the palate. Very complex. Chill and enjoy with grilled chicken or turkey tournedos.

Viognier Marsanne food pairings: wild rice cranberry stuffed Cornish hens, veal cutlet in creamy mushroom sauce, grilled veal Porterhouse.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
