About Stars & Crowns

Measuring yourself to continue improving. Weingut Leo HILLINGER is very glad about the numerous national and international awards its wines have won. 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.

Falstaff

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.
