Cloth
White 2018
A typically elegant example of the full-vineyard-in-a-glass philosophy we bring to the Cloth Label, the nose is sublimely balanced between citrus, spice and a rich bouquet of florals (jasmine, faint rose). It’s full-bodied on the palate, with voluptuous layers of citrus, nougat-sweetness and acid held together by beautiful texture, tannin and a hint of grip. Definitely one to watch in the cellar.

Winemaker Notes
This wine was blended out of each of the white varieties that are grown at St Matthias vine-yard plus some Pinot noir. The idea is to have a wine that represents the entire vineyard; playing to the individual strength of each variety while remaining in balance. Fermented for a short time on skins, the wine has more colour and tannin than a normal white wine but is not intended to fit into the ‘orange’ category. Rather it acts as extended skin contact to increase aromatic complexity and provide generous palate richness. The underlying acidity along with the extra tannins should allow this wine to mature for many, many years. You’ll find that this wine has many layers to explore, just like St Matthias.
