Brut Trevor Clough and Jason Humphries founded Digby as a négociant brand, setting up purchasing agreements with vineyards they believe are producing England’s top fruit. This is the first release of Leander Pink, a collaboration with the Leander Club, the world’s oldest open rowing club; a portion of the sales goes to support the Leander Academy to train talented rowers. It’s a blend of pinot noir (50 percent), chardonnay and meunier from the North and South Downs of Kent, Sussex and Hampshire, where the soils are mostly chalk and clay. It’s a pretty pink wine with some delicacy to its red-currant flavors, lasting with notes of cardamom and star anise. Pour it with duck rillettes.

Charming pale peach colour. An expressive nose, ripe and musky with a great concentration of aromas. The palate is fresh and dominated by sour cherry fruit. Generous and rich, this wine is delightful now and will continue surprising us with age. Drinking Window 2016 - 2024
