4 Stars (Michael Cooper, NZ Listener) - "This good-value wine was grown in the Wairau and Awatere valleys and aged on its yeast lees before bottling. Fresh, vibrant and punchy, it is medium-bodied, with incisive melon and green capsicum-evoking flavours, crisp, dry and lingering"

Anthony Joseph Vidal was just 22 years young when he jumped off the ship from Spain way back in 1888. After purchasing a small section in Hawke’s Bay in 1905 he converted the stables that occupied the land into a wine cellar and hey presto – Vidal Estate was born!

This latest 2025 release scored 4 Stars with Michael Cooper in his regular NZ Listener column, he said “This good-value wine was grown in the Wairau and Awatere valleys and aged on its yeast lees before bottling. Fresh, vibrant and punchy, it is medium-bodied, with incisive melon and green capsicum-evoking flavours, crisp, dry and lingering. $17”

This is the classic Marlborough Sauvy style – crisp and full of vibrant tropical fruit flavours. From a winery with a long history of amazing food and wine (they opened NZ’s first winery restaurant back in 1979). We recommend pairing it with fresh fish and seafood dishes.
