GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Kulturlandschaft
English translation:cultivated environment , terroir of the environment

German to English translations [PRO]
Marketing - Wine / Oenology / Viticulture / Brochure for a winery
German term or phrase: Kulturlandschaft
This is also in the brochure I mention for the term "Handwerk mit Leidenschaft"
This is in the section about the actual vineyards so I presume it is the "agricultural" meaning of "Kultur" ??

Wo unsere Weine wachsen

Bei unserem naturnahen Weinanbau gehen wir sehr
sorgsam mit den Ressourcen um und bewahren unsere
Kulturlandschaft. Unter der Oberfläche liegen die
Fundamente für tiefwurzelnde, kräftige und resistente
Rebstöcke. Bewusst begrenzen wir aus Qualitätsgründen
den Ertrag und achten durch Begrünung auf ein optimales
Bodenmanagement. Unsere Weinberge sind maßgebend
für Stilistik und Qualität, so dass selbst feinste Nuancen
des Terroirs später im Glas zu erkennen sind.....

Again, I'd be very grateful for ideas from wine loving colleagues!

unsere Kulturlandschaft
the terroir of our region


Explanation:
Pinot noir is rightly considered the most difficult grape to grow, and as a result, the most difficult wine to make and what makes pinot noir wines special, is the fact that it can conserve the terroir of the region in a way no other grape variety can.
https://winestatistics.com/2018/11/05/alpha-estate-ecosystem...

Terroir (/tɛˈrwɑːr/, French: [tɛʁwaʁ]; from terre, "land") is the set of all environmental factors that affect a crop's phenotype, including unique environment contexts, farming practices and a crop's specific growth habitat. Collectively, these contextual characteristics are said to have a character; terroir also refers to this character.[1]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terroir

Not 'cultural' here. That's about orchestras, theatres, architecture and the like.

Where a suggestion "fits quite well but it is already in the same paragraph" (i.e. of this specific context), wouldn't it make sense to include it in the glossary entry?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thankyou, Lancashireman. Terroir does indeed fit quite well, but it is already in the same paragraph.

Asker: Thanks for your comments. I'll see if I can adapt the glossary entry.
