Toppesfield Vineyard is a small, boutique vineyard run by Jane and Peter Moore in North Essex, close to the Suffolk border. They grow two varieties of grape: Bacchus and Pinot Noir. Toppesfield Bacchus is a crisp, dry, fruity white wine with flavours of gooseberry, elderflower and nettle. It has a refreshing finish and excellent length. Toppesfield Rosé is a light, dry wine with hints of English strawberries and citrus. It is a gentle pink colour, with a refreshing finish and very ‘drinkable’ on a warm summer’s day.

This local vineyard has won a number of local, national and international awards, including Wine of the Year in East Anglia for two of their four vintages to date: https://www.toppesfieldvineyard.co.uk/awards/
