INTRODUCING: The Digby English Sparkling WIne Glass

by Gurasu London

Fine English

England, ‘this precious stone set in the silver sea’ has made the English who we are. Every aspect of our lives – our history, our temperament, our eccentricity, our irrepressible humour, our fearless creativity have all been shaped by our island nature, the unpredictability of our temperate climate, our richly varied geology.

And from that ancient terrain comes ‘DIGBY FINE ENGLISH SPARKLING WINE’ – a superlative, elegant, spirited expression of Englishness – with all its follies and foibles, modesty and refinement, its courage and its curiosity…

Inspired by the extraordinary life of the 17th Century philosopher, theologian, writer, pirate, inventor and ‘father of the modern wine bottle’, Sir Kenelm Digby, ‘DIGBY FINE ENGLISH’ is a wine of distinctively English character.

The Art of blending

DIGBY: Our pursuit of excellence is waged through the refined art of blending. CEO Trevor Clough is our playful yet uncompromising Head Blender. “With every bottle, we hope to achieve world-class balance and elegance, while being ever true to the fruit of England. Any glass of Digby must be sophisticated yet racy. Each style is like a member of our family, every one has his or her own determined personality and crafty sense of humour.”

Source of the gold standard

FINE: The difference between good and great fascinates us. Digby is the first pure negociant in England – we believe the starting point for world-class fizz is working with proven, best-in-class vineyards. Over years, we select and build long-term relationships with meticulous, loving growers of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Winemaking supremo Dermot Sugrue then coaxes out the unique character of each parcel of fruit.

UNIQUE CHALKY TERROIR

ENGLISH: Stretching from the white cliffs of Dover, English Wine Country has some of the world's best sites to grow grapes for prestigious sparkling wine. The chalky soil of Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and Dorset brings depth and richness. The long, cool growing season yields the vivaciousness that fine sparkling wine needs to age it to perfection. Thanks to this terroir, our emerging category is rapidly becoming celebrated worldwide.

The gentleman: Our inspiration

DIGBY FINE ENGLISH: Our adventure in wine is named to honour a great, unsung hero of English history and wine history. Sir Kenelm Digby epitomised the 17th century English spirit of creativity - he was a philosopher, patron of the arts and pirate who adored cooking, science and conversation. His most enduring contribution was the invention of the modern wine bottle in the 1630s to overcome the vagaries of shipping wine in barrel.
