Region: Illmitz, Burgenland, Austria (Neusiedlersee)
Grapes: Welschriesling, Grüner Veltliner, and other indigenous Austrian white varieties
Body: Light to medium

Pairing: Fresh fish, oysters, mild cheeses, vegetable dishes, or solo contemplative drinking.
Christian Tschida AEIOU is a white wine from one of Austria's most revered and uncompromising natural winemakers. Tschida farms biodynamically in Illmitz, a small village on the western shore of the Neusiedlersee in Burgenland — a shallow, reed-lined lake that creates a unique microclimate with extraordinary diurnal temperature swings that preserve freshness and acidity in the grapes. Tschida works entirely without synthetic treatments in the vineyard and without additions in the cellar: no added yeasts, no fining, no filtration, and typically no sulfur at bottling. AEIOU — an acronym for the old Latin motto of the Habsburg dynasty ("Austriae Est Imperare Orbi Universo") — is Tschida's entry-level white, a multi-varietal blend that delivers his philosophy in its most approachable form. Sought-after by sommeliers worldwide, Tschida's wines are a benchmark of what Austrian natural wine can be.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
