Hillinger Blaufrankisch Austria 2021

The man behind the HILLINGER brand has managed to turn a small wine estate into a hugely successful enterprise. With creative ideas, unusual marketing measures and a sizeable portion of business intuition.

Sparkling. Fresh & fruty. Trendy. Earth-enriched & deep-routed. Premium.

Every wine has its individual character. Defined by origin, grown by careful hands. Only as a result of the orchestrated interaction between climate, soil, vine and fine workmanship do the grapes reveal their full potential. The best wines are created under the best conditions, so this is where we focus our efforts at the Leo HILLINGER winery. Leo Hillinger has more than one hundred hectares of vines under cultivation around Lake Neusiedl in the Leithaberg region.

Intensive ruby-red color with purple rim, in the nose typical spice, bilberry, blackberry and cinnamon. This impression is prolonged on the palate, supported by a firm body and grippy tannins. The long finish is ending with spice. 100% destemmed, 20% saignée, temperature controlled spontaneous fermentation with natural yeasts for 4 – 5 weeks, 1/3 aged in seasoned barriques for12 months, rest stainless steel.
