Christian Tschida wine will get you excited
Everything but traditional
Working and growing up in the traditionally shaped area of Burgenland Christian Tschida’s winery is located in the Austrian country side. As Christian Tschida has an inimitable style he is often referred as the Enfant terrible in Austria’s winemaker scene. The reason for that might be that he produces red and white wines that are not necessarily typical for the area. Tschida is focussing on a unique style that the customer can taste. To accomplish this style he uses old vines that are around 40 to 60 years old, the wine is unfiltered and it is fermented without additive.
Christian Tschida is not producing massiv quantities of his fantastic wines. However, a lot of fine dining restaurant love his wines as a pairing for their menus. In addition you also can find his product in wine bars all around the world. Although he is from Austria, a wine loving country, his strongest markets are Japan, America and Northern Europe.
In case you want to enjoy his wines in your own four walls you can order from a wide selection of Tschida wines with Hendrik Thoma’s Wein am Limit shop.
If you prefer to have great food to go along with the wine we have created a list with some places that offer Tschida.

4. Bar Freundschaft in Berlin(@bar_freundschaft)
Similarly to the other bottles Tschida always puts high emphasis on the label of the wine bottle. Domkapital Edition was designed by famous pop art artist Mel Ramos, who sadly past away in 2018. Domkapital is considered to be the red wine of the highest quality of Tschida. Only 666 bottles are produced with the Mel Ramos label. Above all, quality is over quantity.
Luckily, Bar Freundschaft offers the wine (if it is still available) to their customers. Bar Freundschaft is serving more than 4000 bottles of wine to their customers. In addition to their great wine selection Freundschaft is serving unpretentious but delicious food.
