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.

Albourne Estate Bacchus 2022 (6 Bottles) Albourne, West Sussex, England
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
English-grown Bacchus grapes produce aromatic, fresh and crisp wines similar in style to Sauvignon Blanc but with their own distinctive aroma profile.
As is typical of the varietal, our 2022 Bacchus is pale, with a crisp light mouth feel and recogniseable aromatic complexity.
The diversity of aromas can range from herbaceous (tomato leaf, basil, sage, nettle, asparagus, grassy) to citrus (lime zest, lemon, grapefruit) to tropical fruit (medlar, mango, passionfruit) to floral (elderflower, honeysuckle) with the intensity ranging from punchy and intense to more subtle and elegant.
Our style of Bacchus aims for intriguing aromatic complexity and subtle elegance which we believe the 2022 delivers in abundance.
More about the Bacchus grape
The variety originated in Germany in the 1930’s as a cross between Muller-Thurgau and Silvaner x Riesling which has helped contribute to its complex nature. In order to enhance this complexity and build ‘terroir-character’ into our wines we blend multiple unique batches picked on different dates, split into different press fractions and fermented with different yeasts.
Food Match Suggestions: The crisp acidity and freshness makes Bacchus perfect as an appetising aperitif wine. It also pairs beautifully with English asparagus or goats cheese as well as seafood such as dressed shellfish or stronger flavoured salads such as Caesar or rocket.
