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.
