Hillinger Small Hill Red is a carefully blended cuvee of 50% Merlot, 25% Pinot
Noir and 25% St. Laurent grapes. This wine is matured mainly in stainless steel
tanks, supplemented by a small proportion of 10% used barriques to complement
the characteristics of the wine. Once the wine has matured sufficiently, it is
bottled and sealed with a screw cap. With a cellaring potential of up to 3
years, Hillinger Small Hill Red is a versatile wine that will develop well and
reveal its character over time if stored correctly.
