Muri-Gries Chardonnay 2024 - 0,75l

Muri-Gries Chardonnay 2024 is a dry Alto Adige Chardonnay with apple, pear and lemon notes from limestone and clay soils in South Tyrol, and a bright finish. This is Chardonnay with a mountain-white feel and a fuller middle than its citrusy nose first suggests. The stainless steel aging keeps the fruit clear and the finish lightly mineral.

About the Wine
Muri-Gries farms this Chardonnay in Alto Adige on limestone and clay, the soil mix named on this bottle. The 2024 fruit reads like a South Tyrolean white built around orchard ripeness and a small citrus edge. Sustainable certification sits behind the wine, and the dry profile feels set from the vineyard side onward. At 13.5% alcohol it has enough natural weight for Chardonnay, with pear and apple already suggested before any glass is lifted. The vineyard information matters here in a tactile way, as the wine carries a faint limestone-clay firmness under its ripe fruit. The cellar raises Muri-Gries Chardonnay 2024 in stainless steel tanks. The tank-aged style tastes clean and direct, with the apple, pear and lemon notes sitting close to the surface. Its bright straw colour fits the shape of the wine, fresh in appearance and open on the nose. Ripe apple leads, pear fills the middle and lemon gives the dry finish its line. The finish keeps a fine mineral grip that feels more like chalk dust than sea salt.

Tasting Notes
In the glass Muri-Gries Chardonnay 2024 is bright straw yellow, then the nose moves straight into ripe apple, pear peel and lemon zest with a cool glint at the edge. The palate is dry and rounded, with 13.5% alcohol giving a fuller middle than the citrus-led nose first suggests, then lemon pulls the finish into sharper focus. There is a fine mineral edge in the texture, close to wet stone dust, and it sits under the apple and pear fruit like a light chalk mark on the tongue. The last impression is long for a stainless steel Chardonnay from Muri-Gries, carrying orchard fruit, lemon pith and a dry South Tyrolean snap after the pear fades. Drink 2025-2027.

Food Pairing
Pour Muri-Gries Chardonnay 2024 with grilled fish, especially trout or sea bass dressed with lemon and olive oil, and the wine's citrus edge picks up the browned skin. For seafood, choose scallops seared in butter or a cold seafood salad with shrimp, fennel and a little parsley. A salad of fennel, green apple and walnuts is a smart match, as the bottle already carries apple and pear through a dry stainless-steel frame. For a regional South Tyrolean suggestion, serve Schlutzkrapfen filled with spinach and ricotta, with browned butter kept gentle and a few chives on top. Keep the seasoning on the herbal side, with dill or chervil echoing the wine's cool lemon note and leaving the pear fruit clear.

Producer
Muri-Gries is an abbey winery in the Gries quarter of Bolzano, with its cellars inside the Benedictine monastery that gives the label a very literal sense of place in Alto Adige and South Tyrol. The estate name joins the Swiss origin of Muri with Gries, the Bolzano district printed into its identity and still visible in the producer's relationship with the city around it on every label and at the cellar door. Many drinkers first know the house through Lagrein from Gries, a red-wine anchor from Bolzano's warm Gries quarter that makes this stainless-steel Chardonnay 2024 feel like a clear look at another part of the cellar. For this white wine, Muri-Gries presents a dry Chardonnay at 13.5% alcohol with a polished middle, ripe apple and pear notes and a lemon line that stays tidy through the finish. The sustainable certification fits the practical tone of the estate, and the farming information on this bottle sits close to what you taste in its limestone-clay texture, dry balance and clean fruit. What stands out here is the producer's restrained handling of Chardonnay, with stainless steel aging leading into a quiet South Tyrolean finish that tastes clean, direct and lightly chalked after the pear note fades.
