Jidvei is the most famous Romanian producer of premium dry and medium dry white wines. Based in the heart of Transylvania, Jidvei’s vineyards spread on more than 2500 hectares alongside the Tarnave River, in one of the country’s oldest wine regions. It was the wine-making skill the German population brought in the 16th century, together with the specific terroir of the region, very similar to the one in Germany, which gave the Tarnave region the name of “Weinland” - Wine country. Most varieties cultivated here are white: Feteasca Regala, Feteasca Alba, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Traminer, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Muscat Ottonel, while the red grape varieties include Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. The company is privately owned since 1999, but it’s history begins in 1949 when a state owned company was set up. It was during the communist period that Jidvei became a standard of quality for white wines, not only in Romania, but also abroad, as Jidvei wines were one of the products with great export value. It is now a family business, with the third generation already involved in the company’s management and it is considered one of the most successful authentic Romanian brands, its products being a true standard of quality, but its scale making it one of the largest winemaking companies with single private ownership. Since its privatization, Jidvei grew constantly in terms of quantity - from 1000 to over 2500 hectares of vineyard and over 10 million bottles sold worldwide, and quality - over 90% of its products have Denomination of Controlled Origin. Jidvei currently owns four winemaking facilities: Jidvei, Blaj, Balcaciu and Tauni. The main winemaking center is JIDVEI, with a total capacity of 17.5 million liters and two bottling lines. It is here that the largest winemaking team works and where most of the wines go through the final stages before being bottled.
