Riede

A term commonly used in Austria (also Ried, Weinbauried, dialectally "Riad") for a site or single vineyard. It is derived from the Old High German riod (riuti = clearing), a place made arable for viticulture by clearing the forest and grubbing up. According to Austrian wine law, a vineyard is a part of a wine-growing community that is characterised by natural boundaries such as waterways and paths, but also by artificial boundaries or as a result of viticultural use, and is often characterised by special soil types or climatic conditions. In some cases, there are also vineyards within vineyards due to special conditions.
