Description
The Hillinger HILL 2 2022 13.5% vol. 0.75 l is a top-class white wine cuvée that combines precision, depth of maturity and terroir-driven elegance in perfect harmony. This exceptional blend of 80% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Chardonnay comes from limestone-rich vineyards in Burgenland and impressively demonstrates how complex and long-lasting Austrian white wine can be. The minerality of the limestone terroir, the exciting combination of both grape varieties and the careful ageing in used Burgundian barriques give the wine depth, texture and impressive aromatic expressiveness.
The elaborate vinification underscores the high standards: 4 months of spontaneous fermentation in used barriques, 4 months on the lees, followed by 20 months on the fine lees, a precise cuvée phase and then a further 4 months in stainless steel for harmonization. Part of the wine is also matured for 3 to 5 years in new and used barriques, which lends additional complexity and ageing potential. Bottled with a maturation potential of at least 5 to 8 years, HILL 2 is aimed at connoisseurs looking for structure, tension and depth in the glass. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
The HILL 2 has a dark straw yellow color in the glass with a light, clear rim. A complex and multi-layered interplay of aromas unfolds on the nose: blackcurrants, mown grass, delicate lavender and ripe yellow fruit - especially peach and mirabelle plum. Fine notes of brioche and subtle spice from the wooden barrel ageing complete the picture. On the palate, the wine is powerful, creamy and structured, with finely integrated acidity, a mineral backbone and a long, persistent finish. A white wine with depth, ageing potential and a clear signature.
Acidity: 4.1 g/l
Residual sugar: 1.8 g/l
Drinking temperature: 10-12 °C

HILL 2 is a great accompaniment to fine cuisine: ideal with porcini risotto with red mullet, fillet of beef with bush beans, rack of wild boar with mango chutney, trout with fresh lamb's lettuce or a classic bouillabaisse. It also unfolds its aromatic diversity as a meditative soloist with increasing air and temperature in the glass. (automated translation)
