Christian Tschida's "Non-Tradition" is a fascinating example of how combining different parcels can create a unique and complex tasting experience. Grüner Veltliner grapes come from two distinctive soil types: one limestone and the other on a steep shale slope, both facing south-east and overlooking the lake. The decision to assemble the two wines led to a surprising result: an aromatic complexity and a layering of taste that offer a rich bouquet, with notes of fruit, spices and minerality. The final result is a symphony of flavors that demonstrates how two elements can come together to create something much greater than the sum of the individual parts, a true case in which 1+1 equals 3. A wine that invites to be discovered and appreciated in every nuance of it.
