This delicious Austrian sweet wine is made from three grape varieties: Sauvignon Blanc, Bouvier, and Welschriesling. The vineyards are situated in a prime location within the Seewinkel National Park. The soil consists of loam, loess, and gravel, and thanks to the ideal climate, the grapes enjoy cold winters and hot, often dry summers. All these conditions ensure exceptionally ripe grapes that can develop optimally.
The high quality of Tschida
The Tschida Angerhof winery has been voted the world's best sweet wine producer for several years. The family-run business is located in Illmitz, in the heart of Seewinkel, in the Neusiedler See-Seewinkel National Park. This area offers optimal conditions for the production of noble sweet wines of the highest quality. Sweet wines are produced from Welschriesling, Chardonnay, Scheurebe, Muskat Ottonel, Traminer, and Pinot Blanc on a 20-hectare vineyard, while Zweigelt and Cabernet Sauvignon are used for red wine. For years, the winery has strived to produce the highest quality grapes from the current vintage. Their goal is pure quality: from care in the vineyard to harvesting and pressing, to the careful and prolonged aging of the wines.
The grapes are harvested by hand and taken directly to the winery. Here, they are rigorously selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks. This is followed by aging on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
The smell and taste of Tschida Auslese
The result is an incredibly fruity wine. The texture of this light-bodied dessert wine is light on the palate. Thanks to the fruit's acidity, the Tschida Auslese is exceptionally fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this dessert wine from the Burgenland wine region, specifically Lake Neusiedl, impresses with a remarkable lingering finish. The aftertaste is also accompanied by mineral notes from the soil, which is dominated by black earth and sand.
