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.

About Natural Wine

Great question! There are a lot of definitions for natural wine with the main term you'll hear being that it has had minimal intervention. To be more specific, our definition is that the wine must first be sustainably farmed, which typically means it was organically or biodynamically farmed.

Then, in the cellar the natural winemaking process has some differences as well! The wine is typically unfined, unfiltered, and goes through spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. If you want to know more about what natural wine is, we have an entire guide under our reference section!

The short answer is that natural wine can taste like any other kind of conventional wine (we like to call these stealth natural wines) or it can taste quite a bit different, as production methods can vary and potentially be lighter, or in a style you've never had before (like orange, pet-nat or amphora).

The natural wine community is also more accepting of some qualities in wines that conventional would consider a flaw, like Brett, some oxidation, or volatile acidity. We would consider these in high amounts to also be a flaw, but in many cases a touch of these qualities can ultimately improve their flavor and texture and be happily accepted in a natural wine.

The short answer is, no! But many are. Glou-glou describes winesthat are easily chuggable, impossible to put the glass down, and seductively delicious!
