Hand-crafted, award-winning grapes from the Malvern Hills

We are committed to growing the best possible Pinot Noir grapes in the Malvern Hills. Our first, 2023 vintage is set to be released in December 2025.

Welcome to Marlbank Vineyard

Located just east of the Malvern Hills in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Marlbank Farmhouse has a long history of growing apples and pears, producing renowned cider and perry well into the 20th century. 

Today, it brings me such joy to continue this Marlbank tradition by growing award-winning Pinot Noir grapes in a one-acre hand-crafted vineyard on the property. The marl soils have been washed down from the Malvern Hills for centuries, giving us a terroir similar to some of the best vineyards in Burgundy, itself famous for growing Pinot Noir grapes.

From pruning to harvest, each vine is cared for by hand before the grapes are given to the talented team at the Three Choirs Winery to transform them into a delicious Blanc de Noirs sparkling white wine. Our first, award-winning vintage is set to be released in December 2025.

I hope you’ll enjoy tasting them as much as I’ve enjoyed growing them.

Our 2023 Blanc de Noirs has been crowned Best Pinot Noir at the London Tasting Awards — a proud moment for Marlbank Vineyard and English wine.

Harvest time at Marlbank Vineyard: picking grapes and having fun

Harvest at Marlbank is more than just picking grapes; this year, twenty members of Marlbank's friends and family offered their time and energy to be part of the gang that will pick our Pinot Noirs which will become our limited-edition Blanc de Noirs, ready to taste in 2026. 

One of the challenges in the final weeks is the threat of fruit fly, the Spotted Wing Drosophila. These tricky insects puncture the grapes to lay their eggs, and as the larvae hatch, they consume the grapes from the inside out.
