About Toppesfield Vineyard
Welcome to Toppesfield Vineyard, a boutique vineyard run by Jane and Peter Moore. We combine our passion for English wine with our love of the outdoors to produce fine wines. Our story began in 2011 when we purchased agricultural land next to our home. Inspired by the area’s Roman history – vines were planted here in Roman Times – we created a 21st-century vineyard in the rolling hills around Toppesfield.
Our terroir benefits from a fertile chalk subsoil, clay loam, and ideal air circulation. East Anglia’s dry and sunny climate creates perfect conditions for our chosen grape varieties.
We selected Bacchus as our main white grape, which thrives in East Anglia’s climate. Its hints of gooseberry and elderflower evoke English hedgerows in early summer. For our rosé, we chose Pinot Noir Précoce, an early-ripening red grape that excels in our climate.
We’re proud to share our passion for English wine with you.

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.
