Leo Hillinger is a visionary entrepreneur and winegrower whose passion for viticulture has earned him international recognition. His estate, which today comprises an impressive 100 hectares of vineyards, is renowned not only in Austria but worldwide for its excellent wines. These wines are exported to over 20 countries around the world, underscoring the global presence and popularity of the Hillinger brand. Hillinger’s focus on sustainable viticultural practices and organic production plays a key role in ensuring that his wines impress with their exceptional quality and purity.

Following years of training in Europe and California, Hillinger purchased 12 hectares of vineyards, thereby laying the foundation for his successful winery in Jois, which opened in 2004. The business has expanded to include several wine shops and bars across Austria and a long-standing partnership with the Constantia Glen winery in South Africa. In 2012, Hillinger was named ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ by Ernst & Young, highlighting his outstanding role in the wine industry.

Hillinger Pinot Noir Terroir is a single-varietal Pinot Noir that captivates with its complex and elegant aromas. The grapes are grown in accordance with organic guidelines. The vinification process involves maceration in steel tanks, during which the grapes remain on the skins for 5 to 6 weeks before the wine is aged in large 3,000-litre wooden barrels. Following maturation, the wine is bottled and sealed with a natural cork.

With an ageing potential of at least 10 years or more, the Hillinger Pinot Noir Terroir displays exceptional structure and balance, making it an ideal accompaniment for special occasions and fine dining.
