Klosterkellerei Muri-Gries

In 1845, the Benedictines from Muri in Switzerland took over the Augustinian canons’ monastery in Gries and continued its winemaking tradition. The winery was officially registered in 1900 and is fully integrated into the abbey. The estate farms vineyards in and around Bolzano as well as in Eppan; the official website gives a total of 60 hectares. In the cellar, Muri-Gries combines stainless-steel technology with large oak casks and barriques. Old Lagrein vineyards and work with selected single vineyard sites play a particularly important role.
