Christian Tschida

Christian Tschida farms around ten hectares of vines in Illmitz and has run the family estate in its fourth generation since 2003. In the vineyards, he works with high planting density, old vines and horse-drawn methods; compost and straw are used, among other materials, for soil care. In the cellar, the focus is on gentle pressing, spontaneous fermentation, large wooden casks and long maturation without fining or filtration. The estate is known for distinctive, minimally interventionist wines with moderate alcohol and pronounced freshness.
