Alte Reben
Alte Reben (pronounced: AL-te RE-ben) is a German term used in viticulture, which translates to "old vines" in English.
Etymology
The term "Alte Reben" is derived from the German words "Alte", meaning old, and "Reben", meaning vines. It is used to denote vineyards that have aged significantly and are often associated with producing high-quality grapes.
Definition
Alte Reben refers to grapevines that are typically over 30 years old. These vines have deep root systems that can access water and nutrients not available to younger vines, which can contribute to the complexity and depth of flavor in the wines they produce.
