Riede (location) in the municipality of Hagenbrunn in the south of the Lower Austrian wine-growing region of Weinviertel. It was first mentioned in a document in 1438. The vineyards are oriented towards the southeast. The soils consist in the uppermost layer of calcareous, sandy loam, darkened by humus, and from a depth of 40 cm of loam (marl and sandstone) and calcareous flysch rock (fossil sandstone). The white wine varieties predestined for this soil type are cultivated here: Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. The Deutsch, Fischer Josef and Schwarzböck wineries, for example, have shares in the vineyard.
For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
