Christian Tschida wine will get you excited

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.

Restaurants that offer Christian Tschida’s wines:

2. Mast Weinbistro (@mastvienna)

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.

Flee to the Austrian country side to recharge the battery

Life in the city can be stressful. The stress can be caused by the disadvantages of city life like population density, traffic jams and pollution or by personal challenges like your work, family or health. Work-Life- Balance should not only be an empty phrase. You need to allow your mind and your body to calm down and find relaxation in your hectic schedule. Why not boosting your well being with a trip to the Austrian country side? Now is the perfect time to pack your bags and start planning your trip. The weather is getting warmer, the flowers starting to bloom and asparagus season is around the corner.  The Austrian country side has some amazing hide aways where you can recharge your batteries and fuel your body with energy for upcoming stressful weeks.

Austria has definitely made an appearance on the culinary map. Over last decades not only some amazing wine producers have made a name for themselves but also talented chefs opened restaurants all around Austria. Luckily not all chefs were attracted to the city but opened feel-good oasis in the country side.

Here are our inspirations for the perfect get away in the Austrian country side:


1.Taubenkobel, Schützen, Austria

Forbes once featured the restaurant Taubenkobel as one of the coolest places to eat and the various restaurant guides are always full of praises for the French Alain Weissgerber, his wife Barbara and his father in law Walter Eselboeck. They are serving traditional recipes with regional products and a high emphasis on seasonality. The restaurant itself has a rustic yet elegant flair. Make sure to secure a spot on the terrace as soon as the sun is out. In addition, Taubenkobel also has a „Greisslerei”, which is a small grocery store, where you can buy produce and enjoy traditional but more casual food. As a pioneer on serving bio dynamic wines you will be more than pleasantly surprised with the wine selection. Also enjoy a relaxing walk from Taubenkobel to Gut Oggau (https://www.gutoggau.com) who produce an excellent bio dynamic wine. 

2. Mühltalhof, Unternberg, Austria

One of the most exciting young chefs in Austria is Philip Rachinger who has taken over the Restaurant at Mühltalhof from his father Helmut Rachinger. But don’t worry Helmut Rachinger is just a throw away from Mühltalhof in his new place called Fernruf7 (http://www.fernruf.at). In a very minimalist space he serves bread in a homemade oven, preserves and pickles herbs or vegetables and offers his guests some casual bites to eat. Philip Rachinger offers also regional but more sophisticated dishes. Located at the river Große Mühl you can go for a swim in the summer or just enjoy the sound of the splashing of the water. Family Rachinger will spoil you with culinary delights.

3. Doellerers Genusswelten, Golling an der Salzach, Austria

„Cuisine Alpine“ is Andreas Doellerer’s philosophy. As his restaurant is located near the Alps he is focusing on products from the area like wild undiscovered herbs or milk which is a central product of the Salzburg mountains. Doellerer is serving traditional yet refined and perfectly executed dishes. Some of them are inspired by his grandmother. Doellerers Genusswelten is an overall gourmet experience – as it also consists of a hotel, grocery store and wine shop. You are in very safe hands here when you just want to relax and enjoy a great culinary trip.

 

4. Gut Purbach, Purbach am Neusiedler See, Austria

Max Stiegel’s passion and philosophy for nose to tail cooking has transformed this grange to a culinary hotspot. Stiegel masters the liaison of French culinary arts and traditional dishes from Burgenland like no other. Gut Purbach only uses produce that are from the area around the Neusiedler See. Above all, Stiegel himself still collects herbs, berries or mushrooms in the forest if they are in season and available. Dine on the beautiful and idyllic terrace and experience traditional culinary treats. You can also head down the street to the winery of Hans Bichler and enjoy perfectly crafted wines like Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir or Chardonnay.

 

5. Landhaus Bacher, Mautern, Austria

One of the most decorated chefs in Austria is Thomas Dorfer from Landhaus Bacher in Mautern. Chef of the year 2009 by Gault Millau, Trophee Gourmet for creative cuisine by a la carte or chef of the year by Aral Schlemmer Atlas 2018 just to name a few. Yet Mr. Dorfer is not serving his guests pretentious food. He is focusing on regional products and serves modern austrian cuisine with mediterranean und international influences. The restaurant and hotel are furnished elegant but create a cozy atmosphere. Make sure to get a table on the terrace in the summer.
