Tasting Notes
Robust yet refined, this new edition of our Vintage Rosé Brut is fresh and fruit-forward – a satisfying weight of flavour is held beautifully in balance. 2018 was an astounding year for English sparkling wine overall and also gave us the first harvest from Digby’s Hilden Vineyard, in Kent, whose red fruit dominates the blend. Since Digby only declares a rosé vintage every 4-5 years, this one is therefore doubly special.

One of England's most awarded wineries, as made by the brilliant Dermot Sugrue. Named after Sir Kenelm Digby, the polymath and inventor of the first strong glass that made it possible to bottle sparkling wine, Digby was established by founders Jason Humphries and Trevor Clough after they took a life-affirming trip to the Napa Valley to escape the grind of London corporate life. After talking to top producers around the world, they opted to buy grapes from the best vineyards rather than settle on one vineyard site, establishing contracts and relationships with quality-obsessed growers across a diverse range soil types across the southeast: chalk, greensand and clay soil sites. It's given them the flexibility ever since to make blends that represent the very best vineyards in England.
