Vineyard season
A Weinbergstaffel (also vineyard staircase ) describes a narrow staircase made of loosely laid natural stones in the vineyard . The tiers traditionally created by the winemakers made viticulture easier . They run between the vineyard terraces, mostly on the border of a vineyard ( Weinbergrain ) in concave troughs and follow the natural gradient of the slope. In steep-slope viticulture , they are bordered on the sides by dry stone walls and end with the front wall of the lowest terrace body. The vineyard echelons extend between the wide paths that open up the vineyard as a walkway for carts . During the vintage with the were grapes filled vats worn over the seasons downhill and could be emptied from the drywall into the wine making on the wagon. From the lowest terrace body, the relay usually leads parallel to the front wall onto the path of the path. Access to the vineyards was usually with a gate made of wooden blocks. In vineyards with a lower gradient, the vineyard gradients led directly to the road and a wooden pergel or vines in the trellis formed a fence around the vineyards. Vineyard keepers guarded the facilities against grape theft.
A distinction to be made from the traditional vineyard graduation are water stairs made of concrete , which were created in the course of the land consolidation for the wire frame education in the vineyards. The stairs lead surface water from the cultivated areas over asphalted driveways, the path canalised into small storage basins or directly into the valley . The grape harvest takes place in a trellis with or against the slope of the slope using a grape harvester .
