Introductory notes

Vinars is an extremely high-quality brandy produced in Romania. “Vinars" means "burning wine" in Romanian (Vin = wine; ars = burning). The history of Vinars dates back to the 13th century, making it a drink with a rich tradition.

The wine produced in the Jidvei region is distilled and aged for over five years in oak barrels made from local oak trees.

While typical brandies worldwide are made from grape pomace, Jidvei’s Vinars uses only first-press grape juice. It uses only grapes as raw materials, without any added sugar, acid, flavorings, or colorings. This luxurious brandy is crafted solely by the unique terroir of Transylvania, refined over 800 years of tradition and know-how.
