Every star, every crown, every point is the confirmation of our chosen path and the demand for the highest quality – and at the same time the incentive to continue to work with great ambition and achieve even more.
The Austrian Wine and Gourmet Journal Falstaff awards up to 100 points annually. The wines of the Leo HILLINGER winery are always at the forefront.
