Vidal Blanc is an inter-specific hybrid variety of white wine grape, a cross of Ugni Blanc and Rayon d'Or (Seibel 4986).
Vidal Blanc was developed in the 1930s by French Breeder Jean Louis Vidal; his primary goal in developing the variety was to produce vines suitable for the production of Cognac in the Charente region of France.

The ideal wine for distillation should be high in acidity, so the dominant grapes grown in the area tend to produce wines that, by themselves, would not be agreeable to drink.
There are eight varieties permitted, but the three most important are Ugni Blanc, which is considered the most suitable and known locally as Saint Emilion, Folle Blanche and Colombard.
The grape varieties used are Ugni Blanc, Picpoule (Folle Blanche), Colombard, Blanquette and Baco Blanc 22A (known locally as Piquepouls de Pays).

At one time, this property was dedicated to the growing of Ugni blanc and production of Uruguayan Cognac.
In 1979 the winery was bought from the Uruguayan government by the Deicas family, who uprooted and replanted the vineyards with various other varietals (there is still a smallish plot of Ugni blanc grown, but they no longer distill their own brandy).
They buy quite a bit of their grapes from other growers under a managed vineyard program, as, of the 2,000 acres only about 500 are currently planted with grapes.
