Christian Tschida

Christian Tschida has the great fortune to cultivate 10-hectares of old vines that have been in his family for 4 generations, since the 19th century. The winery is located in the easternmost point of Austria, Burgenland. The vineyards consist of sandy gravel, schist and limestone, which all enjoy a moderating influence from the extremely large and nearby Lake Neusiedler.


About the Winemaker

Christian Tschida

Christian Tschida tends 10 hectares of century-old vines in Burgenland, Austria, a region renowned for red and sweet wines. Benefiting from a diverse terroir of sandy gravel, schist, and limestone, influenced by nearby Lake Neusiedler, his vineyards thrive. Tschida's hands-off winemaking involves extended barrel aging, up to 5 years, allowing the wines to develop complexity. The use of a vertical basket press, applied with gentle pressure akin to a handshake, extracts only the finest juice. This meticulous process, coupled with Tschida's practice of returning must and juice to the vines, underscores his commitment to sustainable viticulture, nurturing his family's legacy for future generations.
