Producers and Wine Reviews about the "Ireland" Show in wein.plus:places

The western European island nation of Ireland (Eire) with its capital Dublin comprises about five-sixths of the island of the same name, covering an area of 70,273 km², as well as a number of smaller islands. The independent republic does not belong to the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". However, the region of Northern Ireland, located in the north of the island, is included.

Viticulture

The climate is humid and unpredictable, making it not particularly suitable for grape cultivation. Therefore, mostly fruit wines are produced. To a limited extent, there is also viticulture with grapes. On the "Emerald Isle", there are said to have been initial attempts as early as the 5th century through monasteries. The approximately 100 hectares of grape vineyards are mainly located in the southwest in County Cork. Primarily, white wine varieties such as Müller-Thurgau and Reichensteiner are cultivated.

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.
