Vita

Leo Hillinger wurde im Burgenland in eine traditionelle Weinhändlerfamilie geboren. Bereits als Kind entwickelte er ein tiefes Interesse für die Vorgänge im väterlichen Weinhandel. Nach diversen Weinbauschulen absolvierte er zahlreiche Praktika im Ausland, zunächst in der Pfalz, wo er mit den Feinheiten des Weins vertraut wurde. Mit 19 Jahren zog Hillinger mit einem Stipendium der österreichischen Weinmarketinggesellschaft nach Kalifornien, wo er sich weiter mit der Vinifikation von Qualitätsweinen beschäftigte. In dieser Zeit begann auch die Auseinandersetzung mit naturnaher Bewirtschaftung der Rebflächen, die Hillingers Arbeit heute auszeichnet. Immer wieder verließ er traditionelle Wege zugunsten kreativer Innovationen. Das Weingut Leo HILLINGER zählt zu den größten Weinproduzenten im Top Qualitätssegment in Österreich. Hillinger wurde als erster Winzer von der renommierten Unternehmensberatung Ernst & Young zum "Entrepreneur Of The Year" ausgezeichnet. Er ist ein Unternehmer mit Herzblut, der es versteht, die Menschen in seinen Vorträgen mit seinem Know-How zu motivieren.

The philosophy of Leo Hillinger

  • "When the grape material is top, you don't have to do so much in the cellar. After many years of experience and many experiments, I know: the fruit must be perfect and should be unchanged in the bottle."

Leo Hillinger's methods are characterized by a deep respect for the grape and the peculiarities of terroir and climatic conditions. His wines captivate with velvety richness and softness, reflecting the characteristic conditions of their origin. "I don't want to create confusable international fashionable wines, but very typical Austrian top quality," says Leo Hillinger.

"Making wine is the greatest happiness for me. 
For me, it combines profession and hobby. I can't imagine anything more beautiful."

 

Quality as a brand

  • One thing sets Leo Hillinger's wines apart from other well-known wine brands: his commitment to continuous first-class quality in all channels. And Leo Hillinger pursues this with great success, as evidenced by many awards in recent years.
