The wine is matured in barriques, which gives it an elegant woody flavour, additional depth and a harmonious structure. Maturation in oak barrels supports the integration of the tannins and gives the Hillinger HILL 1 a complex flavour with Langs development potential. With an alcohol content of 13% vol., this dry red wine is powerful and balanced.
