Jubilant yet gracious
Kenelm Club price: £28.00
Digby Fine English is proud to be the official English sparkling wine of Leander Club in Henley-on-Thames, the world’s most decorated rowing club.
We donate a portion of profits from each bottle of Leander Pink sold back to Leander, to help the club train young athletes aspiring to be the sporting champions of tomorrow.
And since Leander’s club colour is a very particular shade of cerise, our sparkling rosé had to be a similarly vibrant pink fizz.
50% Pinot Noir
35% Chardonnay
20% Pinot Meunier

Notes of strawberry and cream transport you to the Thames riverside on a glorious day at Henley Royal Regatta, watching rowing boats race by as you bask in the June sunshine.
Digby’s Leander Pink offers summer in glass, all year round with its vibrant energy and fresh finish.
Digby’s CEO and Head Blender Trevor spent two years creating the blend for Leander Pink, honouring the commitment to quality shared by Leander Club in rowing and Digby Fine English in winemaking.
Founded in 1818, the rowers of Leander Club in Henley-on-Thames are proud to have won more Olympic medals than any other single sports club in the world. The club values the pursuit of excellence both on and off the water, and its reputation for attentive hospitality.
