About Missing Gate Vineyard

Nestled in the renowned Crouch Valley, Missing Gate Vineyard represents three generations of farming heritage combined with a forward-thinking vision for English winemaking. This family-run venture, established in 2018, leverages a background in farming and food-technology to produce exceptional still English wines, balancing uncompromising quality with sustainable practises.

From the outset, the family adopted a long-term approach, experimenting with a variety of climate and disease-resistant grape varietals to find the perfect match for the vineyard’s clay-based terroir. This meticulous selection process has resulted in vines that thrive in the unique conditions of the ‘salt-marsh stretch of Essex.’ Drawing on expertise in food processing technologies, Missing Gate has embraced innovative green solutions, optimising grape yields and elevating wine quality while minimising environmental impact.

The vineyard’s origins lie in the family’s deep connection to the land and a shared passion for winemaking. Traditional arable fields have given way to vibrant vines, transforming the farm into a hub of viticulture excellence. Encouraged by their initial success, the family continues to expand the vineyard and refine their offerings, contributing to the growing reputation of the ‘Essex Riviera’ as a premier region for still English wines.

Proudly joining the ranks of neighbouring vineyards, Missing Gate Vineyard embodies a blend of tradition and innovation, delivering wines that reflect the dedication and spirit of a family united by a love for their craft.
