Non Tradition White 2023 is a somewhat flagship wine of Christian Tschida, in the Burgenland region in Austria. This white wine is made with 100% Grüner Veltliner grapes, but here Christian delivers a non-traditional approach to the winemaking, resulting in a Grüner Veltliner with attitude, yet also interesting aspects to it far from the world of the many conventional wines that come from the region - and of course here unfiltered and without any added sulphur.
How does Non-Tradition by Christian Tschida taste?
THIS IS AN AWESOME WINE! Decant or carafe for 30 min for best results. Slightly effervescent on opening but not noticeable after 30 seconds. This exceptional, complex Grüner Veltliner reminds you a little or a Tscheppe Sauvignon on the nose, and alerts you to the complexity of what is to come. Vibrant acidity, meadow flowers, green apple, exceptional stoney minerality. Non-Tradition by Christian Tschida is a truly wonderful wine.
This white wine will age well too.
Interesting Facts about Christian Tschida and Non Tradition
Besides being called Non-Tradition as the wine is not traditional of Grüner Veltliner, interestingly, Christian Tschida makes Non-Tradition Weiss from two different plots of Grüner Veltliner aged 40 years each- one from Limestone and the other from Schist soil, which gives extra complexity. Christian has quoted before that this is like 1+1=3.
