[3] Brauneberg Roman wine press

Description

The cradle of German viticulture lies on the Middle Moselle. There you will find the oldest Roman wine presses north of the Alps. Between the presses in Piesport and Erden, in the center of the former Roman wine-growing region, lies the 2nd-century Brauneberg Roman wine press. The slopes of the Juffer, Juffer-Sonnenuhr, Klostergarten, and Mandelgraben vineyards, with gradients of up to 87%, have always been home to exquisite vines of the highest quality, which have established the international reputation of Brauneberg wines. The oldest evidence of this is the Roman wine press dating from the 2nd century. It is located at the foot of the steep southern slope of the world-famous “Brauneberger Juffer Sonnenuhr” vineyard on the opposite side of the Moselle from our village.
