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

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.
Amber Valley Margot 2022 (6 Bottles) Wessington, Derbyshire, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Margot is a meticulously crafted dry white wine, blending the vibrant characters of Phoenix, Serval Blanc, and oak-aged Solaris grapes. Named after our beloved grand-niece, this wine exudes the same depth, charm, and individuality that inspired its creation.
In the glass, Margot presents a pale lemon hue, shimmering with refreshing elegance. The nose unfolds with a captivating bouquet of ripe melon, juicy peach, fresh-cut grass, and delicate elderflower, promising a complex and alluring sensory experience.
On the palate, Margot delivers a harmonious medley of citrus notes complemented by the lush melon, peach, and elderflower nuances first hinted at on the nose. With a modest alcohol content of 11%, it maintains a light, breezy character while allowing its intricate flavour profile to shine.
Crisp acidity enhances the wine’s structure, balancing its vibrant fruitiness and adding a zesty lift that lingers on the palate. This refreshing texture makes Margot both delightful on its own and an excellent companion to food.
Pairing effortlessly with dishes like creamy chicken, pasta, or delicate fish, Margot also shines alongside white Stilton, where its fruity overtones beautifully complement the cheese’s creamy richness.
Elegant and full of personality, Margot is a standout among white blends—an ideal choice for elevating special moments or simply enjoying life’s finer pleasures. Raise a glass to Margot, a wine as joyful and distinctive as its namesake.
Balfour Skye’s Chardonnay 2023 (6 Bottles) Tonbridge, Kent, England
FREE SHIPPING ENGLAND WIDE
“A chardonnay for those who favour balance, freshness and sophistication” is how our Head Winemaker, Fergus Elias, described his newest vintage of Skye’s Chardonnay, from the superb 2022 harvest.
Inspired by our home, with flavours reminiscent of white blossom, thyme and fresh lemons. Coming from vineyards planted specifically for the creation of English Chardonnay.
Skye’s Chardonnay is made from Burgundy clones planted on Middle Strackney Wood and Old Eight Acre, our two warmest Chardonnay Vineyards which we pick last to maximise phenolic ripeness.
Here’s three reasons to try our Chardonnay:
1. Burgundian heritage: this wine comes entirely from grafted Burgundian vines, grown on Kentish clay soil.
2. Unoaked style: this is all about the character of the chardonnay – zesty, fresh and Chablis-like in style.
3. Lingering complexity: this is proof that you don’t need oak to make interesting wine. There’s plenty of texture from the extended lees age, battonage and full malolactic fermentation.
Tasting Note: A clean citrus-driven palate with notes of lime and melon rind. A delightful, aromatic and complex Chardonnay.
Winemaker’s Food Pairing: There’s a freshness and vibrancy to this wine which makes it an excellent pairing for fresh salads. Alternatively, it’s extra weight (balanced with the citrus character) creates a delicious counterpoint to oily fish dishes and shellfish.
