Slovak term or phrase: hon pod vinohradmi
From a terroir description. Is this a proper noun mistakenly left without a capital letter? If not, what would be the translation of 'hon' here?

English translation:wineyard
Explanation:
I think "hon" is the same as "trať" in Czech so would be "wineyard" and I would leave the name as is

plot


Explanation:
Definition:
poľnohosp.: plošne vymedzená časť poľnohosp. pôdy, časť poľa, na ktorej je zasiata 1 plodina

According to this definition my translation would be 'plot'.

Asker: The first definition sounds more like 'terroir'. But the phrase is repeated several times the same way, so it doesn't appear to be a mistake. Thanks for the links!
