Some of the world's best sweet wine winemakers come from Burgenland and one of them is Hans Tschida from Illmitz. His pursuit of quality in grape production and his subtle flair in the cellar are the hallmarks of his award-winning wines. 80 percent of his wine production is in the Prädikat wine category. The climate on Lake Neusiedl helps him here, as it could hardly be better for the production of botrytis wines. When the grapes already have a sufficiently high sugar level in autumn and the early mists set in, the berries are attacked by the desired noble mould almost overnight - a nightmare for the red wine winemakers in northern Burgenland, a gift of nature to the sweet wine producers.
Stylistically, the wines from Angerhof impress with their varietal typicity and elegance. They tend to be reductive, and Hans Tschida usually prefers the lower sugar levels - viscous, syrupy essences are not his thing. The drinkability of his products is extremely important to him. His wines are never sticky, and he is a fan of the Lüss vineyard because the wines from there usually have an acidity level that is one per mille higher. The Sämling is the variety with which the winery has built up an excellent reputation. However, he is also particularly fond of his Spätlese and Auslese wines. They are the entry-level wines if you want to approach the subject of sweet wine. And once you try them, you can't keep your hands off them anyway.
