A TOAST… To foibles and follies!

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
