The vineyards' maritime setting moderates summer temperatures and encourages a long ripening season, preserving the natural acidity and hedgerow fragrance that suit these cool-climate varieties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are harvested by hand, with most of the juice fermented cool in stainless steel to retain freshness. A small component is fermented in barrel to add gentle breadth and texture, after which the blend is assembled and bottled to preserve its youthful, fruit-led character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePale lemon yellow with green reflections and bright clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eNose\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElderflower, crisp pear and green apple are joined by lemon blossom and a faint note of fresh herbs, creating a delicate, recognisably English aromatic profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePalate\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight and dry, with green apple, citrus and white plum carried by brisk acidity. The small barrel-fermented portion rounds the mid-palate without adding obvious oak, and the finish is clean, gently floral and refreshing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFood pairing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair with Cornish crab, grilled lemon sole, asparagus and pea risotto, or goat's cheese with dressed garden leaves.

Its small-batch approach embraces varieties suited to the English climate, with careful handling in the cellar designed to retain the fruit's natural freshness and modest alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarpe Diem White gathers several of England's established cool-climate grapes into a single, easy-flowing blend. The 2019 vintage shows the range's central idea particularly clearly: aromatic fruit, lively acidity and just enough texture to make the wine as comfortable at the table as it is on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knightor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31912920809532,"sku":"KNIGHTCARPEDIEMWHITE","price":22.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0036\/1984\/8252\/files\/knightor-carpe-diem-white-2019-0-standardised-600x960.png?v=1791378054","url":"https:\/\/sommelierschoice.co.uk\/products\/carpe-diem-white-2019","provider":"Sommelier's Choice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
