Chris and Caroline Stedman founded Abingworth in 2021 after moving from London to Champions Farm in West Sussex. Their four daughters contribute experience in marketing, product development, operations and design. The estate initially focused on still wines and released its first traditional-method sparkling wine in 2026. Wine names and labels draw on the site’s history and landscape.
Abingworth is at Champions Farm near Thakeham, in the foothills of the South Downs. Greensand and sandy loam soils support Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and other varieties for still and sparkling wines.
