Vandal

Vandal is a collaboration of three Marlborough wine producers, each working as a side project to their day job.

The idea is to produce unconventional wines from unusual blends, going against the grain of the largely formulaic wines for which Marlborough is renowned. The grapes come from single vineyard sites, harvested and fermented together. If they like the result, it is bottled. The quantities are tiny, but the personality of the wines is vast.

Although Noble Grape is interested primarily in traditional, authentic styles, we can't hide our admiration for mavericks too. Please don't take the wines too seriously: we can only guess the amount of fun Vandal has in coming up with these blends, which then appears as the deliciousness in these wines.
