WINE REVIEW

It’s hard to believe this is only the fourth vintage of Digby Vintage Reserve as it’s been a wine that has been there for a large part of the nine years I’ve been covering the English Wine scene.

The 2014 vintage is composed of 62% Chardonnay, 17% Pinot Meunier and 21% Pinot Noir with fruit sourced from Hampshire, Dorset, Kent and Sussex. The final release has an 8g/l dosage and eight years on lees.

There’s a very classic aged Chardonnay character coming through on the nose, with baked apple tarte tatin, hints of vanilla and lemon curd, digestive biscuit and honey-roasted nuts.

This is classic Digby on the palate, combining a racy acidity and intense citrus that melts away to a harmonious blend of baked apple, ripe peaches, creamy waves and buttery brioche. This is so complete, so involving, so very Digby.
