The Angerhaof / Hans Tschida winery from Illmitz - Neusiedlersee has won seven (!) titles "Sweet Wine Maker of the Year" at the London Wine Challenge in the last twelve years (as of spring 2022). Here sweet and noble sweet wine is produced in the typical style of the Seewinkel area at a very high level and sold at extremely fair prices. The price-benefit ratio can without exaggeration be described as sensational.
The 2022 vintage enabled Hans Tschida - Angerhof to make a rare late harvest of the red Merlot grape variety. The lighter color than dry Merlot is due to noble rot, which attacks the berry skin and thus also the dye. A whopping 104 grams of remaining sugar and just 8% alcohol make the wine juicy but not heavy. So a small glass goes with the fruit cake in the afternoon, without having a great effect, but a lot of enjoyment.
