Some of the world's best sweet wine producers 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. Seventy 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 autumn and the early mists set in, the berries are attacked almost overnight by the desired noble mould - a nightmare for the red wine vintners in northern Burgenland, a gift of nature to the sweet wine producers.
Stylistically, the wines from Angerhof are captivating due to their varietal typicity and elegance. They tend to be reductive, and in terms of sugar levels, Hans Tschida usually prefers the lower range - thick, syrupy essences are not his style. The consistency and palatability of his products are of utmost importance to him. His wines are never cloying, and he is a fan of the Lüss site because the wines from there usually have an acidity level of one per mille higher. The Sämling is the variety with which the winery has earned an excellent reputation. But he is also particularly fond of his Spät- and Auslese wines. They are in the true sense of the meaning - sweet starter wines for those who want to accustom themselves to the world of sweet perfection.
