Illmitz is an exceptional place in the world of wine. No other municipality can claim to have produced two of Austria's most significant sweet wine producers. With the Weinlaubenhof Kracher and the Angerhof Tschida, this small village in the Seewinkel region is home to two wineries that have played a decisive role in shaping the international perception of Austrian sweet wines over the decades. The unique climatic conditions around Lake Neusiedl – warm autumn days, cool nights and the mists so vital for noble rot – make Illmitz one of the world's great sweet wine terroirs.

Yet even in Illmitz, the Mecca of Austrian sweet wines, Hans Tschida occupies a special position. He is not a winemaker who can be pigeonholed into a single style of wine, but rather a master of the Austrian sweet wine tradition in all its forms. No other sweet wine specialist masters the entire spectrum of noble sweet wines with such precision and consistency. Whether reed wine, ice wine, Beerenauslese or Trockenbeerenauslese – year after year, the Angerhof Tschida produces wines that impressively demonstrate the diversity and high standards of quality that Austrian sweet wine can achieve.

Reed wine holds a special place in this context. This Burgenland rarity is far more than just a regional speciality; rather, it ranks among the most demanding disciplines of sweet wine production. Unlike wines that derive their concentration from noble rot or frost, only healthy and fully ripe grapes are used for reed wine. After harvesting, they are left to dry for several weeks on reed mats, where they slowly dehydrate, naturally concentrating their sugar, acidity and aromas.

The production process requires an exceptional instinct for the right time to harvest and the optimal duration of the drying process. Only when all factors come together perfectly does that fascinating interplay of concentrated fruit, lively acidity and delicate elegance emerge – the hallmark of great reed wines. Hardly any other winemaker has cultivated this traditional art so consistently over decades and brought it to international recognition as Hans Tschida. His reed wines have been among the best of their kind for years and enjoy an excellent reputation far beyond Austria's borders.

Goldmuskateller is an indigenous grape variety originating from northern Italy, where it is known as Moscato Giallo and by numerous local synonyms. It is a cross between Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains and a as yet unknown parent variety. Compared to Muscat Blanc à Petit Grains, it ripens later, has thicker skins and is more resistant to botrytis. The grape variety has only been officially approved in Germany and Austria since 2018. Hans Tschida's 2023 ice wine presents itself in the glass as a bright, golden-yellow colour with a high degree of brilliance. The nose, characterised by a distinct ice wine character, is highly complex and encompasses an enormously broad spectrum of fruit. Alongside floral nuances reminiscent of white blossoms, a hint of honey and an exquisitely delicate nutmeg note, I detect the zest of a wide variety of citrus fruits, foremost among them lemon, grapefruit and kumquat. There are also tropical hints of passion fruit. On the palate, the ice wine surprises with a juicy and exceptionally creamy richness. The ripe acidity is lively but superbly integrated. The sweetness is present but does not stand out excessively. An almost perfect balance. Lime on the finish. Excellent length, with a finish that lingers for minutes.

A transparent, light Bordeaux red with a delicate hint of violet. A fruit-driven bouquet with a broad palette of aromas, comprising a mix of fresh and dried fruits – predominantly red, but also some dark fruits. Alongside blackcurrant, sweet cherry and cocktail cherry, notes of raspberry, blueberry and black plum are also discernible. A distinct note of forest honey. As the nose moves away from the rim of the glass, the fruit becomes more subtle and delicately spicy nuances come to the fore. On the palate, this Schilfwein captivates with impressive elegance and clarity, a velvety texture, harmonious acidity and a sweetness that is not overly rich. Excellent length. A fairly subdued finish with hints of light nougat and toffee.

After 13 years' ageing in stainless steel tanks, it will not be bottled and released until 2026. Gold to amber in colour. A subtly honeyed, spicy nose of dried herbs with aromas of stone fruit, particularly apricot, and honeydew melon. In the background, ethereal notes reminiscent of eucalyptus. On the palate, it displays an exquisitely refined, unobtrusive sweetness. Magnificent clarity. Hints of light-fruited jam. Good acidity. Excellent length, with an enormous finish. Timeless.

🯅The rating of the wine is based on a single taster. The taster is named in the context of the rating. The tasting was either open or blind. In case of a blind tasting, it is explicitly labelled as such.
🯅🯅The rating of the wine is based on two tasters. The tasters are named in the context of the rating. The tasting was carried out according to the four-eyes principle, in which both tasters agree on a joint rating.
🯅🯅🯅The rating is based on a tasting by our jury and indicates the Mean value calculated by us from the individual ratings of the tasters. Our mean value is based on the median.
⚖The wine was evaluated in a blind tasting. We have strict rules for blind tastings. The tasters do not receive any information that would allow them to identify the wines. The tasters are only given access to further information that goes beyond the subject matter if it is absolutely necessary for understanding the wines.
🕓We only had limited time to taste the wine  - typically during an open tasting event, such as a wine fair. It was therefore not possible to observe the development of the wine in the glass over a longer period of time. The informative value of our rating may therefore be limited under certain circumstances.
⛬The wine was tasted as a barrel sample or before an official test number (Amtliche Prüfungsnummer or Staatliche Prüfnummer) was issued. We only accept samples of unfilled wines in exceptional cases, and then only if we can assume sufficient stability in the bottle for a period of at least three months.
▲During our tasting, the wine showed conspicuous sensory characteristics. This does not necessarily have to be a wine fault. We categorise the quality and quantity of the abnormality and include it in the rating. Wine faults such as cork taint or an atypical ageing generally lead to a complete rejection.
Tastings that refer to the same bottle of a wine are visually summarised by a dotted line.
