"A consistently good buy" (Michael Cooper)
Bordeaux blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec from the Gimblett Gravels in Hawke's Bay
Aged 18 months in French oak
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!
Wind the clock forward a few decades and the Vidal Reserve Merlot Cabernet Sauvignon has become one of the most reliable on the market. In fact just a couple of years ago this label took out Michael Cooper’s Best Buy Red of the Year!
Using Merlot, Cabernet and Malbec fruit from their prized Gimblett Gravels vineyards and given 18 months in French oak this is a darkly fruited, mouth filling and supple red. Just the style red to bust out when Mum’s Sunday roast is being served at the dinner table.
