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 Red is a carefully composed cuvée made from 50% Merlot, 25% Pinot Noir and 25% St. Laurent grapes. This wine is matured in stainless steel tanks, which emphasises its fruitiness and purity. After ageing, the wine is bottled and has a storage potential of up to 3 years. This structure and balanced composition make it a versatile accompaniment to various dishes.

Tasting Note

The Hillinger Hill Side Red has an intense, deep ruby red colour in the glass. The nose reveals complex aromas of dark berries such as blackberries and black cherries, accompanied by spicy notes of pepper and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and round, with juicy fruit flavours and a fine tannin structure. The finish is long and pleasant, with a pleasant spiciness and a hint of vanilla that comes from the barrel ageing.

The Hillinger Hill Side Red is a perfect accompaniment to hearty meat dishes such as beef steaks, lamb or game. The wine also harmonises perfectly with hearty pasta dishes with tomato sauce or mature cheese. This red wine is ideal for festive occasions or as an accompaniment to a cosy dinner and offers a perfect combination of strength and elegance.
