The Hillinger Grüner Veltliner Leithaberg DAC 2022, 13% vol., 0.75 l, comes from the distinctive slopes of the Leithaberg, where limestone- and slate-dominated soils provide ideal conditions for this grape variety. The grapes come from old vines whose deep root systems precisely reflect the region’s geological diversity. The winemaking process involves a selective hand-harvest, 16 hours of maceration, spontaneous fermentation in used French barriques, and a fermentation period of five months. This is followed by approximately four months’ ageing on the full lees, a further twelve months’ ageing on the fine lees, and ageing in a 3,000-litre wooden cask. This combination of traditional craftsmanship and careful maturation lends the wine structure, depth and a clear sense of terroir. With an ageing potential of around 10 years, the Leithaberg Veltliner ranks among the region’s longest-lived white wines.


The 2022 vintage exemplifies the perfect marriage of terroir, craftsmanship and varietal character. The influence of the Leithaberg vineyards is evident in the wine’s stylistic clarity and taut structure, making it a versatile yet sophisticated representative of the DAC. The combination of gentle vinification, extended yeast ageing and terroir-driven soils highlights its precision and elegance. The optimum serving temperature is 9–10°C, whilst the ideal drinking temperature is 11–12°C, at which its internal structure and subtle tension appear particularly well-balanced.
