A Sweet Victory After 7 Years!

Let's talk about the year 2018, which turned out to be quite a remarkable one for Jidvei Winery in Transylvania. It's being hailed as their best vintage in three decades, and the conditions were simply perfect. But what's even more incredible is that after a 7-year wait, they were able to harvest grapes for ice wine. In the world of wine, this was nothing short of a miracle!

Their 2018 Jidvei Ice Wine made its debut at the prestigious IWSC 2019 Wine Competition. The International Wine Spirit Competition (IWSC) is like the Olympics of the wine and spirits world, where winning is incredibly tough. 

Now, here's the real twist: It was the first time a Romanian ice wine joined the competition, and guess what? It blew everyone away! Scoring a fantastic 96 out of 100 points, it proudly walked away with a shiny gold medal. The 7-year-waited Romanian ice wine truly dazzled on the global stage.

But the story doesn't stop there! After this triumph, it went on to conquer various other international wine competitions, bagging several medals and securing its place as one of the world's finest ice wines. 

Tasting notes

• Appearance
  It delights the eyes with its golden hue while boasting perfect clarity and stunning radiance.
  
• Nose
  It elegantly carries nuances of ripe yellow peaches, quince confiture, rose petal jam, mango, and acacia honey.
  
• Palate
  The balance between fruitiness and acidity is excellent, and it offers a delightful drinking experience not often found in ice wines. You can savor the refined flavors of European melon, mango, ripe apricot, and aged honey.
  
• Food pairing
  It pairs wonderfully with various cheeses, foie gras, seafood, Thai cuisine, and fruit-based desserts, creating fantastic pairings. However, it can also be enjoyed on its own as a delightful dessert substitute.
