Vidal Estate

Das The neuseeländische New Zealand Weingut winery in Hastings in the Bereich area of Waiheke Island (North Island) was founded in 1905 by the Spanish immigrant Anthony Joseph Vidal (born 1866), who had immigrated in 1888. In the years prior, he had worked at his uncle Joseph Soler's winery. His three sons continued the legacy. The winery, which had been in family ownership until then, was acquired by the wine empire Villa Maria in 1976. A restaurant is attached. The estate's own vineyards cover 28 hectares, planted with the varieties Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec (Cot) and Merlot. Grapes of the varieties Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Müller-Thurgau, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir and Sémillon are purchased from contract growers. The wines are marketed in three lines: Joseph Soler (after the founder's uncle), Vidal Reserve, and Vidal Estate. Among the best products are the red wines Cabernet-Merlot Reserve and Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, as well as the white wine Chardonnay Reserve.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
