CHRISTIAN TSCHIDA
CHRISTIAN TSCHIDA - ILLMITZ, AUSTRIA
Laissez-faire, as the French say: “Leave everything to the play of natural forces. No rigid order, no fixed rules, no dogma." This is the dogma followed by the legendary Christian Tschida during winemaking. His family has been producing wine for four generations in Burgenland, Austria and Christian is the worthy and current heir after taking over the 10 hectare vineyard when he was 27 years old and knowing only that he had to change the traditional concept and create something free without techniques complicated. Christian believes that excellent wine begins with healthy soil, in fact his vineyards boast rich plant and animal life, a tribute to his natural approach. The wines are left to develop completely and without intervention in barrels where they are said to reach their internal balance.
