A Vineyard with a Story
The Vineyard was bought in 1997 by Roger and Jacqui Barber. Mersea Island Vineyard is rooted in the tradition of producing exceptional wines that reflect the unique character of our coastal terroir. Nestled on the shores of Mersea Island, our vineyard has grown to be a cornerstone of Essex winemaking. Each vine is tended with care, and every bottle represents the spirit of the island.
Tasting the Mersea Island Culture
Back then all that was on site was Muller Thurgau, Ortega and Rechsteiner vines, as well as an old barn. Today there is everything you see on the website, and additionally they have planted Solaris, Caberay, Noir and Rondo vines.
Mersea Island’s cool coastal climate and fertile soil provide the perfect conditions for growing grapes that are full of character. The sea breeze, sandy soils, and natural biodiversity all contribute to wines that are crisp, vibrant, and distinctly reflective of our island’s terroir.
