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 Multi-Vintage Sparkling (6 Bottles) Albourne, West Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
As its name suggests this wine is made of selected base wines from multiple vintages to produce an approachable and immediately enjoyable style. Others call this style ‘non-vintage’ – we just prefer the name ‘multi-vintage’! The blend of this wine will vary slightly each year in order to maintain a consistent style, but it will typically be a combination of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir or Pinot Meunier and will undergo 3 years on-lees ageing.
Generous and soft on the palate, this wine is open and expressive, exhibiting delightful panettone-like aromas of sweet baked bread, dried apricots, nuts and candied citrus peels.
Ashling Park Estate Chardonnay (6 Bottles) Chichester, West Sussex, England
SHIPPING???
From the 2022 harvest at our West Ashling vineyard, this wine opens with an inviting bouquet of local watercress beds, complemented by notes of toasty cashews, cool cinders, and ripe greengage plum.
On the palate, it delivers a delicate interplay of fresh acidity, reminiscent of crunchy nectarine, balanced by a subtle coastal salinity. The finish lingers gracefully, enhanced by a creamy softness imparted by a touch of time in the barrel.
A superb choice as an aperitif, this wine shines when paired with seafood, poultry, or vegetarian dishes, elevating each pairing with its refined complexity.
Black Chalk Paragon Sparkling White 2020 (6 Bottles) Andover, Hampshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
100% Chardonnay.
A sparkling wine of unparalleled elegance, Paragon Blanc de Blancs showcases the purest expression of Chardonnay from the Upper Levels vineyard. Made exclusively from premium clones (95, 121, 76, and 131), this limited release of just 3,535 bottles is a testament to meticulous craftsmanship.
On the nose, bright citrus aromas intertwine with delicate floral notes and a whisper of toasted almond, hinting at its partial oak cask aging (46%) alongside stainless steel (54%). The absence of malolactic fermentation preserves the vibrant acidity (8.8g/L), complemented by a touch of residual sugar (5.9g/L) that enhances the wine’s texture without compromising its finesse.
On the palate, Paragon is a symphony of precision and complexity. The wine delivers crisp green apple, lemon zest, and a chalky minerality, rounded by a subtle creaminess from oak influence. The finish is long and refreshing, with a delicate interplay of fruit, acidity, and structure that invites another sip.
As Jacob Leadley, winemaker and owner, describes: “Paragon is all about the subtle use of oak, chosen to provide a balance to the elegance and fruit profile of the Chardonnay.”
Perfect for those seeking a sparkling wine that marries sophistication with depth. Ideal for celebrations or pairing with fine seafood and soft cheeses.

Greyfriars Vineyard Yolande 2023 (6 Bottles) Puttenham, Surrey, England
UK MAINLAND DELIVERY INCLUDED
This wine is a blend of Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir from the 2023 vintage and has been crafted to create a light delicate, fresh but aromatic white blend that celebrates the very best of the North Downs.
The Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir were whole bunch pressed with the Chardonnay formed purely from the cuvee fraction of the whole bunch press. The Pinot Gris was crushed and destemmed with a 2-hour soak. There was an addition of tea leaf tannins to the tank fermented wine to reduce the amount of added sulphites. 24% of the Chardonnay was fermented and aged in barrel for six months and 10% of the Chardonnay came from our Chardonnay ‘solera’ reserve tank which we started in 2015
This is the fourth in a series of limited-edition wines celebrating a chapter in our local history and the unsung heroines of the SOE in World War II who trained at nearby Wanborough Manor.
Yolande Beekman flew to NE France as a radio operator in September 1943. Unfortunately in January 1944 her transmissions were detected and she was captured and tragically executed at Dachau in September 1944.
