Our Story
A Project of Passion
Digby Fine English was founded by Trevor Clough and Jason Humphries with one goal: to make England famous for world-class sparkling wine.
Trevor and Jason released their first wines in 2013, made from the 2009 vintage. Producing the finest fizz possible was a pre-requisite – quality is at the heart of Digby – but the couple was adamant that these wines should also reflect the inimitably English sense of humour. You know, a glint in the eye, a wry joke, a hint of flamboyance all protected by a perfectly composed demeanour.
There was nothing else for it: Trevor and Jason quit their corporate London lives and moved to Sussex – the heart of English wine country – to pursue their dream of putting England’s wines on the map, one glass at a time.

Founder’s story
Meet Trevor and Jason
Trevor Clough and Jason Humphries founded Digby Fine English with a simple yet ambitious aim: put England on the world winemaking map.
How?
By making the best English sparkling wines possible and creating exciting, novel, diverting and delightful experiences for our guests.
An unfailingly innovative approach led Trevor and Jason to embrace the négociant model, create the UK’s first urban cellar door and invent the first wine glass dedicated to English sparkling wine. They released their first wines in 2013.
