English Fortified Wines
Knightor Winery Rosé Vermouth 375ml
Bitter orange zest, aniseed, cinchona, fruity with a lingering bitter marmalade finish, and a hint of spiciness
Fresh and fruity character with aromas of orange, thyme, cherry, and flavours of cherry, citrus, herbs. A blend of 21 herbs and spices, many picked in and around Knightor, are used in our rosé vermouth. Many classic herbs were used such as Wormwood [Artemisia absinthium], Bay [Laurus nobilis] and Fennel [Foeniculum vulgare], plus some more unusual, herein lies the key to the elegance, complexity and a little bitterness. The herbs were first infused in a fruity Eau de Vie distilled from Knightor’s grape skins. After a short steeping period, the herb infusion was blended with one of our fruity rose sparkling base wines allowed to mature and integrate for a short period before bottling.
Knightor make premium quality, limited production English wines from grapes grown in English vineyards and their own vines at Portscatho and Seaton on the south Cornish coast.
