Lagrein Riserva Vigna Klosteranger Magnum 2016 - 13,5% vol. Muri-Gries Winery

Description: 
The Klosteranger has an intense garnet color and a bouquet of concentrated aromas. It is surprisingly lively and fruity on the nose, with notes of coffee and dark berries and a hint of raspberry. On the palate, the wine has firm tannins, a fresh acidity, delicate and elegant fullness and depth. The single-site Lagrein is wonderfully complex and persistent and delights the palate with its multi-layered structure. The Klosteranger is a historical single site protected by the old monastery wall at the heart of Muri-Gries. It offers the perfect terroir for the Lagrein Riserva Vigna Klosteranger: an expressive single-vineyard wine as the product of the authentic interpretation of terroir and grape variety, concentrated and honest.

Wine Estate Monastery Cellar Muri-Gries 
In 1845 the Benedictines moved from Muri in Switzerland to Gries in South Tyrol, where the order took over the Augustinian monastery. In so doing, they inherited a long tradition of wine-growing, which they nurtured in the spirit of a symbiosis of monastery, winery and estate that is still very much in evidence today. The result, in the 21st century, is a range of top-quality wines from MURI-GRIES like the Abtei Muri line, which has been produced from selected grapes from the very best sites since 1989. The MURI-GRIES wine estate comprises 35 hectares of vineyards in excellent locations in and around Bolzano and Appiano. The monastery vineyards offer an outstanding terroir, combining excellent soils with a highly favourable climate.
