Some of the world's best sweet wine winemakers come from Burgenland and one of them is Hans Tschida from Illmitz. His striving for quality in grape production and his subtle intuition in the cellar determine his wines, which have won many awards. 70 percent of his wine production is in the Prädikatswein range. The climate at Lake Neusiedl helps him, because it could hardly be better for the production of botrytis wines. When the grapes already have a sufficiently high sugar gradation in the fall and the early mists set in, the berries are attacked almost overnight by the desired noble mould - a nightmare for red wine vintners in northern Burgenland, a gift of nature to sweet wine producers.
Stylistically, the wines from Angerhof impress with their varietal typicity and elegance. They are rather reductive in style, and in terms of sugar levels, Hans Tschida usually prefers the lower range - thick, syrupy essences are not his thing. The drinkability of his products is enormously important to him. His wines are never sticky, and he is a fan of the Lüss site because the wines from there usually have a per mille higher acidity. Sämling is the variety with which the winery has earned an excellent reputation. However, he is also particularly fond of his Spät- and Auslese wines. They are the entry-level wines if you want to approach the subject of sweet wine. And once you've tasted them, you can't keep your hands off them anyway.
