We are joining forces with Newcomer Wines to host winemakers Roland Velich, Hannes Schuster and Christian Tschida on their new initiative RE:IMAGINE Pannonia.
They each make wines which they consider, first and foremost, to be wines of Pannonia: where Eastern Austria meets Western Hungary. But the winemaking culture and history is very different here compared with the rest of Austria. The end of Empire in 1918 brought turmoil and a change of international borders. Then, the Iron Curtain sliced the region in half for almost half a century, and only since 1990 have growers in Hungary and Austria begun to put the pieces of the jigsaw back together, rediscovering their common heritage and history.
RE:IMAGINE was initiated in 2024 by winemakers Roland Velich, Hannes Schuster and Christian Tschida to create a bridge between the history and present of Central Europe’s winemaking traditions. Their vision is to shed light on the quality and singular terroir of their Pannonian heritage and to share the character of their wines with a growing audience. The masterclass will offer a preview and deeper understanding of their initiative and will include a selection of wines underlining their efforts and evolution.
