Pinot Noir 2024 - 13% vol. Muri-Gries Winery

Description: 
This wine has an intensely bright ruby color. On the nose, it is distinctive for its fruity aroma of crisp ripe cherry, black currant, blackberry and raspberry; it is delicately spicy with some laurel and tarragon, slightly ethereal, playful and complex. On the palate, the wine is full with plenty of structure, pronounced tannins, stimulating acidity and berry fruit. It is youthfully unsophisticated and elegantly rustic.

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.
