Hillinger 2003 St. Laurent (Burgenland)
- Editors' Choice
- $27
No doubt this is a modernist?s rendition of St. Laurent, with its notes of smoke, cinnamon, toast and vanilla, but what stands out is this wine?s velvety mouthfeel, vibrant black cherry fruit and long, mouthwatering finish. Imported by Prescott Wines.

Hillinger 2009 Blaufränkisch (Leithaberg)
- $39
A stern and tannic wine, with its acidity to the fore. With the weight of fruit and the firm structure, this is a wine that needs to age. The final juicy character gives great promise for the future.

Hillinger 2004 Zweigelt (Burgenland)
- Editors' Choice
- Online Exclusive
- $18
A plump, juicy rendition of Zweigelt, with white pepper accenting blackberry and mulberry fruit. Long and succulent on the finish.

Hillinger 2002 White (Neusiedlersee)
- $55
The equivalent of a TBA, this blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc is bottled without varietal indication. Inviting aromas of sweet toffee lead to flavors of ripe, fleshy apricots with layers of acidity to balance. This is a luscious, concentrated wine.

Hillinger 2004 Welschriesling (Burgenland)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $9
This light, crisp white is the perfect counterpoint to a hot, lazy, summer afternoon. The slightly leafy, green apple and lime scents are a pick-me-up, followed by some delightfully pure and crystalline flavors ranging from rainwater to fresh greens, apple and pears to citrus. Clean and refreshing on the finish.

Hillinger 2010 Pinot Blanc (Leithaberg)
There can be few Pinot Blancs that come in such a heavy bottle. Once the wine is poured, it’s a fresh apple and cream wine, with attractive acidity and a soft aftertaste. Some toast shows through at the end.

Hillinger 2003 Trocken Zweigelt (Burgenland)
- $17
Gets off to a bit of a start, overwhelmed by charred, burnt coffee aromas—but don’t give up on it. The flavors are much fruitier, featuring liqueur-like black-cherry notes. The silky finish picks up hints of chocolate, but keeps pumping out the fruit. Imported by Select Wines.

Hillinger 2005 Secco Rosé Pinot Noir (Burgenland)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
The name is derived from the intended style of the wine--Prosecco-like--although the grape variety is Pinot Noir. It's pale salmon in color, with delicate scents of strawberry, citrus and fresh herbs, and the texture is creamy. Finishes a bit sweet and soft, befitting the style.
