Details
Step into the extraordinary world of English sparkling wine with the Digby Fine English Brut NV. This masterfully crafted Pinot Noir-led blend encapsulates elegance, complexity, and a touch of adventure—befitting its namesake, Sir Kenelm Digby, the visionary inventor of the modern wine bottle.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, its pale straw hue hints at the sophistication within. The bouquet enchants with aromas of toasted nuts, fresh hazelnuts, and a whisper of white rose, balanced by autolysis notes of biscuit and chalky minerality. Each sip is a symphony of flavors: vibrant green apple, rhubarb, and zesty citrus intermingle with creamy textures and subtle hints of smoke. The Pinot Noir at its heart delivers a rounded richness, while Chardonnay adds depth and finesse, and Pinot Meunier contributes engaging plummy tones. A crisp acidity brings it all together, culminating in a long, intense finish.
Why You’ll Love It
Perfectly balanced between boldness and elegance, this sparkling wine is not only delicious but also an embodiment of the rising English sparkling wine movement. The meticulous blending of grapes from chalky vineyards across Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, and Dorset reflects Digby’s commitment to exceptional quality. Its partial malolactic fermentation and 24 months of bottle aging enhance its creamy complexity, making it a standout choice for any celebration.
Awards and Praise
- Wine Enthusiast (Jul 2023): "Bracingly refreshing and nothing but class... bursts with singular notes of lemon, thyme, and fresh hazelnut."
- Cameron Douglas, MS (Nov 2023): "Crisp and dry... Balanced, well-made and ready to drink now through 2028."
The Digby Legacy
Inspired by Sir Kenelm Digby’s innovative spirit, this wine’s artistry shines through not only in taste but also in design. The distinctive shard-like label reflects the iconic bottle shape Sir Kenelm pioneered, a nod to his revolutionary contribution to wine preservation.
Pairing Suggestions

Discover the art of fine English sparkling wine with Digby—a toast to history, innovation, and unparalleled taste.
