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 not only in Austria, but worldwide for its excellent wines. These wines find their way to over 20 countries around the world, underlining the global presence and popularity of the Hillinger brand. Hillinger's focus on sustainable cultivation practices and organic production plays a key role in the exceptional quality and purity of its wines.

After years of training in Europe and California, Hillinger purchased 12 hectares of vineyards, laying the foundations for his successful winery in Jois, which opened in 2004. The company expanded to include several wine stores and bars throughout Austria and a long-standing business relationship with the Constantia Glen winery in South Africa. In 2012, Hillinger was named "Entrepreneur of The Year" by Ernst & Young, underlining his outstanding role in the wine industry.

Hillinger Sauvignon Blanc is fermented at controlled temperatures of 13-15 °C in steel tanks to preserve its freshness and aromas. Fermentation lasts 5 weeks, which preserves the fruity notes. The wine is then aged for 3 months on the fine lees. After ageing, the Sauvignon Blanc is carefully bottled and sealed with a screw cap to ensure its quality.

The wine offers a storage potential of up to 2 years, ideal for connoisseurs who appreciate a fresh wine with lively acidity that can be drunk young.
