The Sämling Trockenbeerenauslese (TBA for short) is a serious and complex mouthful, and we’re not just talking about the pronunciation. This is the pinnacle of the sweet wine classification and the pinnacle of the dessert wines that we have on offer. It is a magical glass of wine for which descriptors struggle to capture its charm. Notes of orange oil, rosewater, honeyed lemon, apricot juice and almond greet you on the nose. Its one of those noses that you can keep coming back to and smell something different everytime. Once you do eventually taste you’ll be wowed by the absolute completeness of the wine. There is bitter orange at first, but this opens into lychee, mango, coconut, mushroom and fresh vanilla. It’s round and warming and so deliciously sweet but, as with all of Hans Tschida’s dessert wines, it’s so incredibly fresh. It’s the balance, brought by the acidity on the finish that makes this dessert wine world class. Power and elegance battling for first place and thankfully they finish hand in hand. Read More

Sämling TBA is an incredibly rare wine that the Tschida winery is only able to produce in years when the weather permits. 2017 was one of thos such years, when the fog rolled in over a warm autumn allowing botrytis cinerea to take hold on the grapes. If the wet weather holds out and doesn’t damage the native Sämling grapes, Tschida is able to ferment and produce this stop you in your tracks bottle that is loved by sommeliers across the world.
Weingut Angerhof Tschida, based on the shores of the mysterious Lake Neusidl in eastern Austria are true experts in sweet winemaking. They are recognised by many as Austria’s best and can be found on many of the best wine lists in the world. The consistenly make balanced, accomplished and simply scrumptious sweet wines and, because they’re Austrian and not French (no offence France), they’re very affordable!
Few places in the world are as suited for grapes destined for sweet wines as the area surrounding Lake Neusidl in eastern Austria. Neusidlersee, the name of the wine region, is where we find Weingut Tschida Angerhof or just Tschida for short. Here, interspersed with ankle-deep ponds on the shores of the lake, Tschida make almost all sweet wines thanks to the unique growing conditions that favour the onset of Botrytis Cinerea or Noble Rot.
