Riede (location) in the municipality of Gamlitz (cadastral municipalities of Gamlitz, Sernau, Steinbach) in the Styrian wine-growing region of southern Styria. It stretches over more than 3 kilometres and branches out into the surrounding forest areas in many places. The Sernau vineyard adjoins to the south-west. The south-southeast-facing vineyards cover 87 hectares of vines at 316 to 498 metres above sea level with a slope of 0° to 38° and form a basin.

The subsoils consist of coral limestone and in part gravel with layers of sand and loam and, despite their high permeability, have an excellent water retention capacity. The soils are predominantly loamy brown earth over conglomerate and breccia (angular rubble rock); the soils are predominantly low in lime.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
