Missing Gate Sauvignon Blanc 2022 (6 Bottles) Chelmsford, Hampshire, England
£201.00
UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED
Only a few English Sauvignon Blancs pass muster with me, and Missing Gate has shot into contention with its delightful, bright, and refreshing character. While the nose and palate are open and citrusy, the superb mid-palate depth and raspy, chalky finish remind me of top-flight Menetou-Salon! The extra dimension of fruit, adding gravitas to the core, is remarkable, and this comes from 80% of the wine being fermented in neutral 500L barrels with 20% going through malolactic fermentation and further lees ageing. These considered techniques add invaluable texture, making this wine complete. It is a glimpse of the future for this grape variety in the UK.
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.

bright, fresh and fruit-driven, made with a blend of sustainably grown, aromatic varieties that require minimal intervention in the vineyard. The grapes were pressed under nitrogen to retain their delicate flavours, with a proportion fermented in neutral oak to add complexity. Secondary fermentation was completed in tank using the Charmat Method, making this wine one of the first of its kind produced in England. This vibrant sparkling white is full of fresh lemon and pear. A crisp palate of melon and green apple lead to a bright finish, making it the perfect aperitif.
