Stopham Estate

"Made with precision and passion in Sussex" is the apt motto of Simon Woodhead's, Stopham Estate. Having begun his career as an engineer, designing parts for Formula One racing cars, Simon planted six hectares of predominantly Pinot Gris and Pinot Blanc at Stopham Estate, near Pulborough, in West Sussex, in 2007. Stopham is known locally for its ancient buildings that were recorded in the Domesday Book, as well as the swans that swim the River Arun, the banks of which form the lower boundary to the vineyards.
