Hill 1 2016

Tasting Note

The first top wine to leave the Leo HILLINGER winery was named HILL 1. The cuvée of Merlot, Blaufränkisch and Zweigelt appears garnet red in the glass with a brick-colored rim. A variety of aromas speak from the nose: dark fruits, black currant, cherries and blueberries, surrounded by a delicate balsamic and black tea note, giving the wine an earthy aroma. These earthy aromas continue on the palate, where the wine presents itself dry, with a pleasantly supportive acidity and full-bodied tannins. Tea as well as balsamic aromas are also evident on the palate, along with the fruit tones of currant. The long finish maintains perfect balance.
