CORPORATE GIFTS2020
HAVE YOU TASTED DIGBY YET?
As a producer of world-class English Sparkling Wine, the belief that England can produce the world’s best sparkling wine is at the forefront of what we do. We are challenging the notion that Champagne is the best fizz available and recently beating Dom Perignon and Krug in blind tastings supports this.
We achieve our high standard through the refined art of blending and working with meticulous producers of the highest quality grapes from the chalky soils of Southern England. These growers, our inventive winemaking and a long, cool growing season results in our luxurious, elegant and gold-medal winning English Fizz that is turning heads across the globe.
We would love to share our passion for English Luxury, blended with our progressive, somewhat cheeky style, with you and your customers. We’ve assembled a corporate offer that goes beyond just bottles of our fine fizz to additionally include our elegant crystal range, our corporate hosting facilities at our new Tasting Room as well as our ability to bring some of the Digby magic to your own location.
We look forward to being of assistance!

Our gold medal and trophy-winning Flagship wine.The Chardonnay provides the structure as well as the platform for ageing, revealing at first heightened energy on the nose which then draws you down into the rounded, richer body of the wine from having spent six years ageing on lees. A well integrated seam of acidity draws the sipper through these layers of flavour, providing a freshness and vitality reminiscent of lemon Magnolia flowers descending into lightly poached apples. The long, rumbling finish comes from the the Pinots in the blend which yield brioche and gunpowder characteristics.

Delicate nose with some pretty gunpowder complexity. Promising, elegant nose. Light-weight, elegant, fine-tuned neat palate. Suitable dosage, finely crafted.”“Burnt match and toasty complexity … complex flavours, very dry finish.”

The namesake for our company is Sir Kenelm Digby because of his adventurous, inquisitive spirit and his key role in the history of wine. He invented the modern wine bottle in the 1630s.
SIR KENELM DIGBY 11 July 1603 – 11 June 1665
Venetia Stanley, Lady Digby, (d. 1633)painted enamel on gold by Henri ToutinWalters Art Museum
At the time, wine was shipped in barrel because glass was too weak, but the wine would too often go off. Digby used both technology and design to make things better. He used coal to get the furnace in his glassworks much hotter to produce dark, thick, robust glass, not like the Venetian finery that only the wealthy could buy.
Digby’s scientific work was as widely recognised as his eccentricity and effusive personality. A founding member of the Royal Society and a prolific writer including of a cookbook, The Closet of the Eminently Learned Sir Kenelme Digbie Kt. Opened, this polymath was at the time described as, ‘The Ornament of this Nation.’
As a privateer he sailed the world and had many well documented adventures. His settling down with the love of his life, Venetia Stanley, was short lived with her untimely and sudden death just eight years later. Stricken with grief, Digby refocussed on his scientific interests and matters of the Royal Court.
And he designed a low, curved bottle with a punt for strength, with a ring of glass around the neck to use to tie off a stopper and protect the wine from air. Our shard-like front labels are designed to reflect this shape.
To us, Sir Kenelm embodies all that is great to be English: a passion for adventure and discovery, for creativity and excellence - all balanced by living life to the full whilst not taking ourselves too seriously.
