In 1905 he purchased a Hawkes Bay racing stable yard and set about converting it into a cellar and winery. It was from there he became one of New Zealand’s early wine innovators. His commitment to crafting classic, elegant wines remains an inspiration to this day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamily owned until the 1970’s, Vidal was purchased in 1976 by George Fistonich who has consistently built upon Vidal’s reputation as a quality wine producer ever since. The Vidal winemaking philosophy focuses on minimal intervention from vineyard site to bottle. The result is a collection of award winning and highly acclaimed wines which are true to their roots and exhibit the perfect combination of balance, concentration and complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vidal-marlborough-sauvignon-blanc","title":"Vidal Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Anthony Joseph Vidal Estate Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc offers excellent quality and is delightful and approachable.

At the winery some batches were hot fermented to contribute density, structure and savoury complexity to the final wine, while others were fermented at lower temperatures to emphasise fruit characters, purity and elegance. The young wines were pressed and run to French barrique where malolactic fermentation took place in spring. Extended maturation on lees has added depth and complexity to the final wine. Beautifully fragrant red berry and floral aromas combine with flavours of cherry, spice with earthy undertones on a finely textured palate.
