Stand Alone is the back to basics, solo project from Xander Grier, son of David Grier, much acclaimed chef and extreme adventurer. As though that wasn’t enough to contend with, his family also purchased the Villiera wine estate when he was a young child, and Xander’s day job sees him working as winemaker at the property, producing around 800,000 bottles of Method Cap Classique every year.

Captivated by the magic of lone, ancient dead trees standing in majestic isolation,yet home to so much life, his solo project takes the name Stand Alone for these trees. Like them, each wine has its own story to tell of the vineyard itself and the vintage. The beautiful artwork on the labels show one single ancient tree on their farm in Stanford that has now sadly fallen down.
