Digby
English wine has come of age and its quality can now confidently stand alongside the finest in the world. So when Trevor Clough and his partner Jason Humphries came through our door with plans to produce England’s first négociant sparkling wine, they found us eager to properly celebrate this change in status.
We needed to create a brand that didn’t shy away from breaking the unwritten rules of an industry which can often feel a little fusty and set in its ways. To capture the spirit of what it really means to be English – that peculiar cocktail of confidence, creativity and quirkiness that characterises our national identity – we were delighted to find a figurehead for all three in Sir Kenelm Digby. This 17th-century philosopher, polymath, diplomat, author and pirate, is also acknowledged as ‘the father of the modern wine bottle’, so it really felt like the perfect fit.
This brand’s credo? Live life to the full, and don’t take yourself too seriously. Cheers!
