The 2013 vintage gave us wonderful concentration, presenting as an elegant blend of citrus, orchard apple and stone fruit. This wine’s taut power and structure are met with pronounced nutty notes bestowed by its smaller bottle format.
In 2023 this vintage wine won a gold medal and trophies for ‘Best Vintage Classic Cuvée’ for the second year in a row, plus ‘Top Sparkling,’ ‘South East Regional Winner’ and ‘Supreme Champion’ at the annual WineGB Awards, co-chaired by Oz Clarke OBE and Susie Barrie MW.
CEO and Head Blender, Trevor Clough, only declares vintages in exceptional vintages and our 2013 edition was the third example of Digby’s house style.
The wine is led by Chardonnay grown on greensand, which typically provides us with the necessary structure and quality to produce wines with ageing potential – to be enjoyed over the years.
Grapes grown from our partner vineyards in Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and Dorset have been carefully blended and aged extensively on lees, then under cork.
A long, warm summer, cool autumn and late harvest owing to rain gave Digby interesting fruit, of wonderful concentration and mesmeric acidity – the perfect ingredients for wines that will develop curiously over time.
