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 Pinot Noir Terroir is a single-varietal Pinot Noir that impresses with its complex and elegant flavours. The grapes for this wine are cultivated according to organic guidelines. Vinification involves maceration in steel tanks, where the grapes remain on the skins for 5 to 6 weeks before the wine is matured in large 3,000-litre wooden barrels. After ageing, the wine is bottled and sealed with a natural cork.

With a maturation potential of at least 10 years or more, Hillinger Pinot Noir Terroir displays an exceptional structure and balance, making it an ideal companion for special occasions and fine cuisine.
