Description
WINEMAKER: Christian Tschida
VARIETAL: Weissburgunder, Scheurebe
REGION: Burgenland, AT
VITICULTURE: Certified Organic/Biodynamic
30 year old vines of Weissburgunder & Scheurebe, grapes are hand harvested, de-stemmed, and crushed by foot. The juice ferments in large barrels with indigenous yeast and no racking. It spends 1 year ageing in 500 to 1500-liter barrels and is bottled without fining or filtering and no addition of sulfur.
Christian Tschida cultivates 10 hectares of old vines in the Neusiedlersee region of Burgenland. His vineyards are planted on sandy gravel, schist, and limestone soils and have been in the family for 4 generations. This area of Burgenland has a unique microclimate due to the moderating influence of the vast Lake Neusiedlersee nearby.
Christian has a very hands off approach in his vineyards, preferring to let nature take its course. His wild looking parcels are instantly recognisable - overgrown with cover crops that both preserve biodiversity in the vineyards and force the vines to bury their roots deep into the soils in search of nutrients.

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
