About Stopham Vineyard
At Stopham Vineyard, we specialise in crafting exceptional still wines from Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Auxerrois, and Bacchus grapes. Our vineyard, nestled in West Sussex’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, boasts free-draining sandy soil ideal for vine growth.
To overcome the challenges of this soil, we’ve implemented sustainable practices. We enrich the soil with organic matter from the Stopham cattle and add fertilisers as needed. Our vines are planted using precision laser-guided technology, ensuring optimal spacing and sun exposure.
Weather is a significant challenge in English winemaking. We’ve learned to adapt to the unpredictable climate, using cutting-edge technology to monitor and control fermentation rates. Our winemaking process involves de-stemming, crushing, and macerating grapes before pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks.
Sustainability is at the heart of our approach. We’ve developed a comprehensive strategy with Inside Out Responsibility to minimise our environmental footprint. From bottling under inert gas to scientifically analysing our wines, we’re committed to protecting the natural beauty of the South Downs National Park.

Albourne Estate Bacchus 2022 (6 Bottles) Albourne, West Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
English-grown Bacchus grapes produce aromatic, fresh and crisp wines similar in style to Sauvignon Blanc but with their own distinctive aroma profile.
As is typical of the varietal, our 2022 Bacchus is pale, with a crisp light mouth feel and recogniseable aromatic complexity.
The diversity of aromas can range from herbaceous (tomato leaf, basil, sage, nettle, asparagus, grassy) to citrus (lime zest, lemon, grapefruit) to tropical fruit (medlar, mango, passionfruit) to floral (elderflower, honeysuckle) with the intensity ranging from punchy and intense to more subtle and elegant.
Our style of Bacchus aims for intriguing aromatic complexity and subtle elegance which we believe the 2022 delivers in abundance.
More about the Bacchus grape
The variety originated in Germany in the 1930’s as a cross between Muller-Thurgau and Silvaner x Riesling which has helped contribute to its complex nature. In order to enhance this complexity and build ‘terroir-character’ into our wines we blend multiple unique batches picked on different dates, split into different press fractions and fermented with different yeasts.
Food Match Suggestions: The crisp acidity and freshness makes Bacchus perfect as an appetising aperitif wine. It also pairs beautifully with English asparagus or goats cheese as well as seafood such as dressed shellfish or stronger flavoured salads such as Caesar or rocket.
