 Our Thoughts on this wine.....

This white wine from Pinot Noir is pale straw yellow in color with pronounced green highlights. The refreshing nose mirrors red currant and red berry tones, highlighted by a fine citrus freshness.
Red berries are also prominent on the palate, while abundant herbal aromas underscore the wine’s complexity.
With a long ripe peach refreshing finish vividly invites the next sip! 
Food recommendation: classic roast veal, duck, tender chicken breast, Salmon or Swordfish on the grill & creamy pasta dishes.

A bit about Leo in his own words....

The Leo HILLINGER Winery, One of the Largest Organic Wine Producers in Austria
The Leo HILLINGER winery is one of the largest organic wine producers in Austria based in the Burgenland region. Leo is an entrepreneur with excellence in viticulture. He runs the winery with commitment and passion and has won several prestigious awards for his work. Their high-quality wines are exported to more than 30 countries around the world. He did his apprenticeship in California and Europe before buying 12 hectares of vineyards and opening his winery in 2004, followed by his Wineshops and Bars. He even has a long business relationship with Constantia Glen in South Africa. Currently, Leo HILLINGER is one of the top wineries of the country and cultivates more than a hundred hectares of vineyards in organic farming around Lake Neusiedl.

No Compromise in Quality
Quality is the foremost objective here and is carried out by organic practices in the vineyards and during the expansion of wines. The grapes are allowed to be on the vines for as long as possible so that they can ripe adequately and show the qualities in the wines. Their wines are fresh and sparkling with a natural fruity taste and aroma. The main grape varietals they grow in their farms include Welschriesling, Grüner Veltliner, Chardonnay, Weißburgunder, Sauvignon Blanc, Gelber Muskateller, Zweigelt, St. Laurent, Blaufränkisch, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and Syrah. The best grapes are handpicked to make their famous red, white, rose, sparkling, and dessert wines. The winery has ‘More Than Wine’ as a slogan, and it perfectly shoes their commitment and philosophy towards winemaking.
