Viticulture around Maring-Noviand has really existed for a very long time. This Roman wine press dates back to around 350 AD. It belonged to a large estate where wine was produced until the destructive Germanic tribes came. However, viticulture and the wine press have survived to this day. In a protective building, you can see the means by which the Roman winegrowers extracted the must from the grapes: They crushed the fruit in a large basin with bare feet or mashers. Then they filled the still dripping wet mass into a press basket, and a press beam, weighted down with a Celtic stone, squeezed it out as well as possible. The juice flowed into a small basin from which it could be easily scooped out. Then it was processed further. Unfortunately, we don't know where the wine cellar was where it fermented afterwards. And what did it taste like? Just try the wine of today's winegrowers from Maring-Noviand, who are doing their best to preserve and maintain the old winegrowing tradition.
