Christian Tschida Hokus Pokus
Country: Austria
Region: Burgenland
Grapes: Gruner Veltliner, Riesling
Vintage: 2018
Christian Tschida has 10 hectares of old vines on the banks of Lake Neusiedl in Burgenland that have been in his family for 4 generations. He grows mainly indigenous Austrian varieties that benefit from the cool lake air and the sandy gravel, schist and limestone soils the area is known for. Christian is renowned for very light extractions that capture the essence of the grapes, all done without sulphur or other additions.
This is Hokus Pokus, a gloriously textured, medium bodied white made from Grüner Veltliner and Riesling with lovely golden fruit, fine acidity and delicate spice.
