Wine Estate & Monastery Cellar

MURI-GRIES is more than a winery. Within its historical walls, the daily round is guided by monastery life in combination with work in a busy cellar and the work on its own 35-hectare wine estate with vineyards in the best locations in and around Bolzano. History brought all this together more than a century ago. The routines in the vineyard and the cellar have always gone hand in hand. The work involved is highly specialized. At MURI-GRIES, the driving force is the desire to keep learning and continually enhance the quality of every single wine.
Monastery cellar

Monastery cellar

Modern technology for traditional wine-making with painstaking care – through our winery philosophy, modern winemaking technology harmonizes with the historical walls of the monastery that surround us. The former Augustinian abbey houses the fermentation room and the stainless steel tanks used to store our white wines, while the reds mature in large wooden barrels and barriques in the old cellar in today’s monastery bell tower.Details
Lagrein

Lagrein

More than any other wine, Lagrein is synonymous with South Tyrol. And the history of MURI-GRIES is inseparable from this native variety. Thanks to the perfect terroir with the reliable interaction of soil and climate and our enthusiasm for autochthonous excellence, the Lagrein from our best monastery sites has become the hallmark of MURI-GRIES – following twenty years of research in the vineyard and cellar. The result is a wine with finesse and an identity of its own, well balanced and yet with a distinctive character combining a typical down-to-earth taste with rustic elegance.Details
Sites

Sites

The monastery vineyards are all located within a radius of a few kilometres of the winery in and around Bolzano and the sun-blessed plateau of Eppan. The best sites at MURI-GRIES include the two vineyards located in the historical quarter of Gries-Moritzing (Bolzano) and the Klosteranger vineyard immediately adjoining the monastery. Lagrein has long been at home here and flourishes in the lingering gentle warmth of the quartz porphyry soils. As Lagrein is especially dear to our hearts and we are determined to respect its origins, we have developed the single-site principle guaranteeing targeted development of these special sites and the production of each vintage using grapes from one and the same site – from the vine to the glass.Details

Our wines

Red, white, rosé

We are a classic red wine producer. Our great passion is Lagrein, and it accordingly dominates our assortment of wines. But our reds naturally also include Schiava and Pinot Noir. Our wide range of white wines includes both typical local varieties like Pinot Blanc and Gewürztraminer as well as such international standards as Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio.Details

The people
