Description

The Gewurztraminer Alto Adige DOC from Muri-Gries is a captivating example that embodies the spirit and atmosphere of the lush valleys of Alto Adige. This white wine, characterized by its natural aromatic vigor, offers a rich and intense olfactory palette where the scents of lychee, dog rose, and exotic spices blend harmoniously.

The Gewurztraminer, with its distinctive pink-orange grapes, is carefully selected and hand-harvested in the early morning hours to preserve the integrity of its aromas. Fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures followed by a brief period of maturation on fine lees to enhance the wine's complexity and structure.

On the palate, Muri-Gries Gewurztraminer shines with its elegant body and impeccable balance between sweetness and acidity. The fruity and floral flavors are well integrated with a delicate touch of minerality that leads to a long and pleasantly persistent finish.

Preferably served between 10 and 12°C, this wine pairs beautifully with aromatic and spicy dishes, such as Asian or Middle Eastern cuisine, but is also surprising with blue cheeses and richly flavored fish dishes.

The Gewurztraminer Alto Adige DOC from Muri-Gries is more than just a white wine; it is a sensory journey that tells the story of a unique land rich in winemaking traditions and breathtaking landscapes. It offers a gratifying experience for wine lovers seeking something truly distinctive in their glass.

Winery history

The present-day Muri-Gries estate stems from the Benedictine monks who moved from Muri to Gries, on the outskirts of Bolzano. Documents and the estate's history attest to the monastic community's continuous winegrowing since the 19th century, evolving from trading wine in demijohns to a progressive focus on quality bottled wines and on selected ranges such as "Abtei Muri."

Production philosophy

Combining respect for monastic tradition with innovation in the cellar: careful vineyard management, selective use of the best sites, and winemaking that blends stainless steel and wood to showcase the character of native varieties, particularly Lagrein.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards are concentrated around Bolzano and on the plain and sunny slopes of the Appiano/Eppan plateau. Soils include porphyritic and gravelly types that enhance the character of the local varieties.

Awards and recognitions

Among the recognitions received is, for example, the award of 3 Bicchieri from Gambero Rosso to the Pinot Noir Riserva "Abtei Muri" in the Vini d'Italia 2019 guide.
