Definitions for "Einzellage"
Keywords:  vineyard, geh, lah, german, tsul
(ay'n-t sel-lah-guh) The German term for a single vineyard worthy of being mentioned on a label. Any German wine that carries a vineyard name may be considered a wine of quality. The name of the town usually comes first on the label as in the case of Piesporter Goldtropfchen.
Translating to "individual site", this is the smallest parcel of land officially recognized under German wine law with a minimum size of 5 hectares (12.5 acres). It equates very roughly to château in Bordeaux and domaine in Burgundy, and as a general rule, wine labelled by its Einzellage will be of higher quality than one labelled from a broader geographic region.
(EYE'N-tzel-lah-geh) - Single vineyard, in German.
