Since 1788 all wine brands of Muri-Gries have been stored in the exquisite rooms of the former Austin canons. At that time, the chorus had to move from the old gothic chapel into a newly built boroque church. The cellar is undoubtedly the monastery core and people can feel tradition and history there, where making wine has always been considered a main activity. In the inner yard there is still a big wooden wine press (also German Torggl) with the year 1549 engraved on it. It reminds anybody who is in charge of Muri-Gries, of both their task and duty. Up-to-date machines and tools are made to fit the old cellar rooms. In an old collegiate church  there is a fermentation cellar, also called “Ansetz”, along with high-grade steel tanks to press the wine.

In the 800-year-old stronghold basement big wooden barrels lie instead. What concerns wine processing guidelines as well as the enterprise philosophy of Muri-Gries, the company staff believe both in the use of non-polluting processing and in traditional working methods, not forgetting up-to-date wine making intelligence – however without exceeding all reasonable limits. That is to say, the wine has its say here! The wine cellarmen and their workmates provide all conditions that are likely to make the best wine and to attain very high quality standards.
