Knightor Classic Cuvee Sparkling White

Cornwall | England

Pale lemon green in colour with a lively mousse that quickly settles to a steady stream of fine bubbles. Aromas are a combination of apples, citrus and freshly baked bread. On the palate, this wine shows great vivacity, complexity and a fine mousse. Serve at 8 degrees.

About the Producer

Our classic non vintage blend of the best parcels of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, 70% of the base wine was from 2017, the remainder reserve wines from previous vintages. The grapes were whole bunch pressed and cool fermented separately, with only the free run juice used for this sparkling, resulting in a clean, crisp and delicate wine. With secondary fermentation taking place in bottle, the wine was then aged in bottle for a minimum of 5 years, after which the bottles were disgorged and aged for a further 6 months on cork. A small part of the overall blend was both fermented and aged in oak to further the complexity and mouthfeel produced by a such a long period on its lees.

Food Pairing
