Slovak term

hon pod vinohradmi

Slovak to English Science Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
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?
Proposed translations (English)
3 wineyard
4 plot
3 appellation

@Stuart Thanks for your input. I was also uncertain about translating "hon", but ultimately it read quite strangely for the uninitiated when left untranslated, so there you go.
Stuart Hoskins Sep 12, 2017:
hon Góre I think you're right, Roni. Strekov has a hon called Góre and another one called Pod vinohradmi, so I reckon you'd leave "Pod vinohradmi" as is. As to whether you should translate "hon", hmm, on the fence.

wineyard

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

plot

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

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

Naturally, the full answer is Plot underneath a vineyard.

appellation

Note from 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!
