Juliet Victor Winery is located in the village of Mád at the heart of Tokaj region, a region in Hungary celebrated for its history of exquisite wine production that spans across five centuries. Surrounding the village of Mád – the first place in the world to register and document individual vineyards – the Juliet Victor vineyard portfolio is made up of over 30 ha of the highest quality and historically significant areas that allow it to produce outstanding and varied vintages.
Juliet Victor was founded in 2016 by renowned airline executive Mr. József Váradi (CEO of Wizz Air) as a result of a decade-long search for a wine regions with the most outstanding potential for vintages. For these attributes Mád and its historic vineyards were selected as the home of Juliet Victor for its significant potential. The name of the winery reflects the founder’s initials as a subtle moniker – the corresponding letters in the phonetic alphabet give its name for ‘J’ and ‘V’.
Juliet Victor Winery's mission is to create the world’s finest Tokaj wines and to redefine the perception of Hungarian wine across the world. Mád and its historic vineyards provide the perfect mixture of minerality and complexity required for dry white wines as well as the conditions for botrytized grapes from which the world-renowned Tokaj flavor is extracted from.
Juliet Victor specializes in dry single-vineyard furmint wines and naturally-sweet vintages including Tokaj’s historic specialities such as Szamorodni and Aszú. The main grape varieties are furmint, sárgamuskotály (muscat blanc) and hárslevelű. The vines are on average 45-50 years old, but the Bomboly vineyard includes some vines that are over 100 years old.
Juliet Victor produces linear, mineral-driven wines which emphasise the volcanic terroir and express the individual qualities of each of the vineyards (Betsek, Király, Szent Tamás, Úrágya, Bomboly, Holdvölgy and Veres). Unique terroir qualities are fully capitalized on in state-of-the-art facilities that are complemented by ageing in large Hungarian oak casks. These casks are only lightly toasted, the intention is to enhance rather than mask the fruit. The wines are carefully crafted by winemaker Zsolt Vincze, son-in-law of Hungary's most influential winemaking figure, István Szepsy.
Juliet Victor Asia Pte. Ltd., a wine distribution company in Singapore was established by Márk Váradi who is also one of the co-owners of the Juliet Victor Winery. Juliet Victor is expanding its distribution into Asia, starting with Singapore. Wines are available to purchase in Singapore through Juliet Victor’s Singapore e-commerce platform at julietvictor.com.sg
