Description
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 not only in Austria, but worldwide for its excellent wines. These wines find their way to over 20 countries around the world, underlining the global presence and popularity of the Hillinger brand. Hillinger's focus on sustainable cultivation practices and organic production plays a key role in 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 stores and bars throughout Austria and a long-standing business relationship with the Constantia Glen winery in South Africa. In 2012, Hillinger was named "Entrepreneur of The Year" by Ernst & Young, underlining his outstanding role in the wine industry.
The concept of "only one grape per vine" characterizes the Hillinger Icon Hill red wine cuvée, which matures under ideal conditions in the vineyards around Jois. Each vine bears only one grape, which is developed into an intense and complex wine. The exact composition of the grape varieties remains a closely guarded secret, which gives this wine its uniqueness.
The wine matures for 60 months in new wooden barrels and is then bottled and sealed with a natural cork. With a storage potential of up to 20 years, this exceptional wine can be enjoyed for a long time. The Hillinger Icon Hill, described by Leo Hillinger as his "wine icon", has a bottle design created by Pritzker Prize winner Zaha Hadid, which underlines its exclusivity.
