Christian Tschida's Stockkultur 2021 is a remarkable expression of Pinot Noir from Burgenland, Austria, offering a unique interpretation of this Burgundian grape. Stockkultur refers to a high-density vineyard training method, with vines supported by individual stakes, promoting low yields and intense flavor concentration. This labor-intensive approach results in only 750 bottles of this vintage, making it a rare and sought-after wine.
The 2021 vintage showcases a balance of elegance and complexity, drawing heavily from the region's quartz, schist, and limestone soils, which impart a striking mineral backbone. The wine is known for its refined texture, vibrant red fruit notes like raspberry and cherry, and a touch of spice and earthy undertones. Its freshness and structure make it comparable to top-tier Burgundy wines. This wine is ideal for pairing with delicate dishes such as roasted poultry, veal, or even game, allowing the wine's precision and depth to truly shine.
