Ortsteil
[OHRTS-tile]

A German term referring to an area that's part of a larger commuity (as a suburb is of a city), yet is independent of that larger community. For example, the village of ERBACH is an Ortsteil of Eltville. Esteemed vineyards like Schloss Johannisberg and Steinberg are classified as Ortsteil; therefore, unlike other vineyards, they aren't required to put the name of their village (the larger community) on bottle labels. For example, wines from the Steinberg vineyard, which is part of HATTENHEIM, are labeled simply "Steinberg," whereas wines from the neighboring Schutzenhaus vineyard are labeled "Hattenheimer Schutzenhaus."
