A delicate yellow colour, this dry vermouth is formed of 31 different herbs, spices and fruit – some classic herbs as well as the more unusual, many picked in and around Knightor. The intense rich warming nose is reminiscent of cologne, bergamot, bitter orange rind and liquorice while the palate is dry, rich and robust with an underlying spicy 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 their reserve sparkling base English wines and 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.
