Its Origins
With a passion to pursue winemaking in his adopted country, Spaniard Anthony Joseph Vidal purchased a Hawkes Bay racing stable in 1905, converted it into a wine cellar, planted vines and established himself as one of New Zealand's early wine innovators. From these pioneering beginnings, Vidal has gone on to create highly-acclaimed wines from one century to the next. The passion that created Vidal over 100 years ago burns just as brightly today, represented by the eternal flame adorning each bottle of Vidal wine. Modern state-of-the-art technology is used in conjunction with traditional winemaking techniques and some original elements of the building are used for Chardonnay fermentation and maturation. The vineyards are farmed with sustainable and organic practices, thanks to winemaker Hugh Crichton’s passion for the environment.
What The Critics Say
96/100 Cameron Douglas MS (2016 vintage)
"Fantastic bouquet of Syrah with softly spoken white pepper, baked raspberry, crushed black cherry, rose and a quiet yet powerful charm. No mistaking the complexity with a beguiling seductive core. Velvet & silk tannins, a backbone of acidity, vanilla, clove and a soft filé powder note. Long and complex finish." Drink 2018 - 2028
96/100 Bob Campbell MW (2016 vintage)
"Bright, vibrant, high energy syrah with taut violet, berry, pepper and spicy oak flavours. An elegant powerhouse that needs time to release its full potential thanks to a backbone of fine yet assertive tannins. 16 JUL 2018." Drink 2018 - 2026
96/100 Huon Hooke (2016 vintage)
"Deep red/purple colour with a bright, black-peppery nose, loaded with spice and very bright and vibrant. Pepper is uppermost. The wine is elegantly-framed, finely-structured, taut and long on the palate, with refinement and focus, precision and great style. The tannins are soft and fine-grained. A very well defined cool-climate syrah. Outstanding. 06 JAN 2019." Drink 2019 - 2036
