Riede (site) in the municipality of Gols in the Burgenland wine-growing region of Neusiedlersee(Austria). The name is derived from the right to clear part of the municipal forest around Gols and use it for agriculture. This was called a "Gabe" and the felling of the trees was called a "Riss". The two terms then merged dialectically to form "Gabarinza". The vineyard is a site that rises relatively steeply in two waves (Langer and Kurzer Gabarinza). It is an old terrace of the Urdonau. The Spiegelluß vineyard adjoins it to the west.

The west-south-west facing vineyards cover 18 hectares of vines at 132 to 158 metres above sea level with a slope of 0 to 15°. The deep soil consists of humusy, sandy-loamy black earth (chernozem) in the topsoil (0 to 30 cm). This is followed by reddish-brown Danube gravel (30 to 65 cm), the colour of which is characterised by weathered iron oxides. The sandy, moderately calcareous structure is well-drained, rather dry and allows good aeration; underneath are further sediments overlaid by Danube gravel.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
