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.

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.
