“Erdener Treppchen” and “Erdener Prälat” are among the best vineyards on the Moselle, and have been for a very long time, as this monument tells us. The production routes were short: the grapes were pressed on site. The Romans crushed the grapes in a large basin with bare feet or pounders. Then they filled the still dripping wet mass into a press basket and squeezed it out as well as possible. The juice drained into smaller basins from which it could be easily scooped out. It was limed for deacidification and clarification. But where was the great wine cellar for so much young wine? Since the plant was owned by the state, the Romans probably took it to the nearby Moselle and shipped it to Trier, perhaps even to the imperial wine cellar. The military also needed wine to supply the troops.

After the visit, take some time to climb the Erdener Klettersteig next door. Here you will experience first-hand how difficult the work in the vineyard was and still is. Be sure to try the wine that grows here!
