The skin fermented method applied to such aromatic varietals results in a wine with super powerful aromas of grapefruit, grass and tropical fruit. The palate is dry and crisp with soft tannins and a long citrussy finish. A very food friendly wine!

About Knightor Winery
A working winery and exclusive wedding venue set amongst four acres above St Austell Bay.
Our approach is to allow the grapes to express themselves often in short run, exclusive wines. Cool ferments and light touches of oak where it adds value, with careful blending or ageing to achieve depth and balance.
The climate and low yields allow us to produce lighter, fruitier, lower abv wines with good acidity that are refreshing as an aperitif and good with food. Minimal intervention means all of our wines are vegan friendly, low in sulphates and the sweetness comes from fruit, not sugar.

bright, fresh and fruit-driven, made with a blend of sustainably grown, aromatic varieties that require minimal intervention in the vineyard. The grapes were pressed under nitrogen to retain their delicate flavours, with a proportion fermented in neutral oak to add complexity. Secondary fermentation was completed in tank using the Charmat Method, making this wine one of the first of its kind produced in England. This vibrant sparkling white is full of fresh lemon and pear. A crisp palate of melon and green apple lead to a bright finish, making it the perfect aperitif.

Classic cool climate Sauvignon, the nose is punchy and pronounced with aromas of Thai basil, nectarine and grapefruit.

Missing Gate Sauvignon Blanc 2022 (6 Bottles) Chelmsford, Hampshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Only a few English Sauvignon Blancs pass muster with me, and Missing Gate has shot into contention with its delightful, bright, and refreshing character. While the nose and palate are open and citrusy, the superb mid-palate depth and raspy, chalky finish remind me of top-flight Menetou-Salon! The extra dimension of fruit, adding gravitas to the core, is remarkable, and this comes from 80% of the wine being fermented in neutral 500L barrels with 20% going through malolactic fermentation and further lees ageing. These considered techniques add invaluable texture, making this wine complete. It is a glimpse of the future for this grape variety in the UK.
