Beat the Blues with Bricolage. This Is Bright Friday.

Welcome to Bright Friday: A Vagabond take on that whole November-thing. 

Every November the world goes a bit feral for “Black Friday”. Screens shout, prices wobble, people panic buy things they didn’t know existed ten minutes earlier. It all feels a bit… un-winelike. So we are doing something different. Something calmer, kinder and far more Vagabond. Welcome to, err let's call it... Bright Friday; a week of good wine, good mood and small joys worth celebrating.

And the brightest thing of all: spend £50 across our online shop and we will slip a bottle of our Vagabond Bricolage Pet Nat Rosé into your order for free. No fanfare. No noise. Just one of the smallest, most curious wines we have ever made, arriving exactly when November needs cheering up.

Just fill your basket, add a bottle of Bricolage and we'll take off the cost at check-out. Simple as. (T+Cs below).

Bricolage: A Wild Little Spark of Joy

Bricolage comes from just 642 bottles, all born from fruit grown at Hidden Spring in East Sussex and harvested on 13 October 2024. The blend is an equal split of Pinot Gris, Pinot Meunier and Bacchus, wholebunch co fermented with wild yeasts, then pressed and bottled before fermentation finished. It completed its journey in the bottle and was disgorged by hand à la volée; a beautiful, slightly chaotic old school method that fits the wine perfectly.

The results are gently rebellious. A soft, semi sparkling lift that feels more like a playful fizz than a full pop. The alcohol stays low and easy, making it the kind of bottle you can open without planning your entire afternoon around it. And the wine itself is bone dry, bursting with racing acidity that keeps everything bright, clean and seriously refreshing. No added sulphites. No sweetness. Just pure, wild, glowing pink energy in a bottle.

In the glass it opens with notes of quince, sage, sloe berries and red currant leaf. Bright, herbal, tart, quietly wild. The kind of bottle you open because it makes you happy before you have even tasted it.

Why Bright Friday, and Why Now

We wanted a moment this season that wasn’t about chaos or consumer frenzy. Something slower and more generous. A reminder that winter can still feel warm around the edges. 

So if the Budget left you sighing into your scarf, Bricolage offers a far gentler kind of comfort. A pink, lightly sparkling antidote to fiscal dread.

How to Get Your Bottle

From now until 3 December, spend £50 online and we will add a free bottle of Bricolage to your order. One per order. While this tiny run lasts. Call it Bright Friday. Call it a seasonal pick me up. Call it a delicious distraction from the economic forecast. Whatever you call it, we hope it adds a little colour to your November.
