Sustainability underpins Stopham’s ethos, sourcing solely from hand harvested estate-grown fruit. Established in 2007 by Winemaker Simon Woodhead, the vineyards and winery are situated in the historic Stopham Estate in Sussex. Dating back to the 11th Century, the 15-acre vineyard overlooks the iconic St. Mary The Virgin church. Their Grade II listed winery, a Victorian barn, blends tradition with modern technology, crafting crisp whites and traditional method wines with minimal intervention and an ethos for viticultural longevity. Here’s how it tastes: This fresh Pinot Gris is from 17 year old vines, creating a juicy intensity with tropical aromas. Great with spicy dishes.
