Piesport is one of the oldest viticultural locations on the Moselle river. Both the discovery of a Roman winepress from the 3rd century AD, just beneath the slopes of the Piesporter Goldtröpfchen, as well as a magnificent glass goblet from the beginning of the 4th century found in 1950 bear witness to the relevance that Piesport's vineyards have had since the Roman Age.

Piesport occupies a topography ideally suited for viticulture. Its steep slopes open up like amphitheaters toward the south and are therefore indulged by the sun all day long.

The deep slate flooring acts as a thermal reservoir for the vines and ensures a good supply of water. The mild fluvial climate also creates ideal microclimatic conditions for great Rieslings with mineral structure and a wide variety of aromas.
