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 Rosé is made from a balanced blend of 50% Zweigelt, 25% Pinot Noir and 25% St. Laurent grapes. The wine is matured in steel tanks to preserve its freshness and fruitiness. After ageing, it is bottled and securely sealed with a practical screw cap. With a storage potential of up to 2 years, the Hillinger Small Hill Rosé offers optimal drinking maturity.

Tasting Note

The Hillinger Small Hill Rosé presents itself in the glass in a delicate, salmon-coloured rosé hue. The nose reveals aromas of red berries, such as strawberries and raspberries, paired with a delicate floral note. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with a well-integrated acidity that emphasises the fruity character. The flavour is harmonious and balanced, with a pleasant, slightly tart finish that rounds off the fruitiness perfectly.

The Hillinger Small Hill Rosé is an excellent accompaniment to light summer dishes such as salads, grilled fish or Mediterranean tapas. This rosé is also ideal with light pasta dishes or poultry. It harmonises particularly well with freshly prepared seafood or a fresh goat's cheese platter. This rosé is suitable as an aperitif at social gatherings as well as for a relaxed dinner.
