Christian Tschida cultivates 10 hectares of old vines in the Neusiedlersee region of Burgenland.
His vineyards are planted on sandy gravel, schist, and limestone soils and have been in the family for 4 generations. This area of Burgenland has a unique microclimate due to the moderating influence of the vast Lake Neusiedlersee nearby.
