Leo Hillinger is a visionary entrepreneur and winemaker whose passion for viticulture has brought him international recognition. His winery, which today covers an impressive 100 hectares of vineyards, is known for its excellent wines not only in Austria, but worldwide. These wines find their way to over 20 countries around the world, which emphasises the global presence and popularity of the Hillinger brand. Hillinger's focus on sustainable cultivation practices and organic production contributes significantly to the exceptional quality and purity of its wines.

After years of training in Europe and California, Hillinger bought 12 hectares of vineyards, laying the foundations for his successful winery in Jois, which opened in 2004. The company expanded to include several wine shops and bars throughout Austria and a long-standing business relationship with the Constantia Glen winery in South Africa. In 2012, Hillinger was honoured by Ernst & Young as "Entrepreneur of The Year", underlining its outstanding role in the wine industry.

Hillinger Small Hill Sweet is an exquisitely balanced cuvée consisting of half Chardonnay and half Welschriesling. This sweet wine is matured in stainless steel tanks to preserve the purity and clarity of the flavours. After ageing, the wine is bottled and securely sealed with a screw cap. With an impressive ageing potential of up to 20 years, this wine develops a deeper complexity over time.
