NEW for guests of our hotel: Wines from Weingut Hillinger in Burgenland

New wines from Leo Hillinger available for guests of our hotel! One more Austrian wine of the highest quality at hotel Gartnerkofel!

After a long and eventful day on the slopes or hiking in the Nassfeld mountains there is nothing like a glass of wine.
We attach great importance to serving our guests Austrian wines of the highest quality. So we are all the more pleased to be able to offer you, from now on, the extraordinary wines of Weingut Hillinger.

By the way, our cooperation arrangement with Leo Hillinger came about under sports-related circumstances:  Leo Hillinger was one of the many participants of the “Beat Armin Assinger” competition in Nassfeld, just like our hotel team.

The following agreement was reached between Leo Hillinger and landlord Martin Waldner: If our hotel team “Gartnerkofel Gemsen” achieved a result better than that of the wine producer, the Hillinger team would give us “several cases of wine per person.”
Leo Hillinger settled the bet straight away, and after a successful and delicious wine tasting session, we immediately decided to add Burgenland wines to our assortment.

Owing to the Gartnerkofel Gemsen’s sport performance, 9th  place in the team ranking in “Beat Armin Assinger”, we are now proud to present the following wines in our range.

First HILL red 2011:
Leo Hillinger’s young red wine has an aroma rich in primary fruit with a hint of dark and red berries with a light spiciness in the background. These enticing notes are reflected harmoniously on the palate.

First HILL white 2011:
This young wine is a bright straw yellow with green reflexes! Its fresh and crisp scent reminds you of green apples and meadow flowers. This fresh fruitiness stands out perfectly on the palate!

Hillinger Gelber Muskateller 2011:
Bright straw yellow with light green reflexes! Animating and delicately fruity aromas with touches of nutmeg and a hint of elderberry and vineyard peach; the palate displays freshness and fruitiness accompanied by a lively acidity.

Hillinger Secco:
Its bouquet is reminiscent of strawberries, the palate displays freshness with an outstandingly elegant perlage, fruity and delicate notes, the acid is well integrated and the finish is harmonious.

SECCO Muskat Ottonel:
With its fruity and fragrant nuances of peach, orange and nutmeg, it is not only a must as an aperitif.  The palate also displays a fresh and lively flavour, not too sweet.
