Publication of a communication of approval of a standard amendment to a product specification for a name in the wine sector, as referred to in Article 17(2) and (3) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33

(2022/C 339/05)

This communication is published in accordance with Article 17(5) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33 (1).

COMMUNICATION OF STANDARD AMENDMENT MODIFYING THE SINGLE DOCUMENT

‘Navarra’

PDO-ES-A0127-AM03

Date of communication: 14.6.2022

DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT

POSSIBILITY OF BLENDING ROSÉ WINES WITH REDS

The possibility of blending or adding rosé wine from the previous year’s harvest to the current year’s red wine is being introduced, as long as the percentage of rosé does not exceed 15 % of the total resulting capacity.

This amendment affects point 3.b(c) of the product specification and point 5.1 of the single document.

The amendment is considered to be a standard amendment under Article 14(1) of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/33, as it does not include a change in the name of the protected designation of origin; It does not consist of a change, a deletion or an addition of a category, of grapevine product, as referred to in Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013; It could not potentially void the link referred to in point (a)(i) or in point (b)(i) of Article 93(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013; and it does not entail further restrictions on the marketing of the product.

Following the end of the state of emergency declared by Royal Decree 926/2020 of 25 October 2020 and extended until 9 May 2021 by Royal Decree 956/2020 of 3 November 2020, and the gradual lifting of the exceptional measures adopted by the government (lockdown, total closure of the hospitality industry and border closures, etc.), society has moved towards a normalisation of activity, which will have a positive impact on the wine market and lead to an uptick in consumption.

Given that rosé wines tend to be mostly consumed in the spring and summer months, they were the most affected by the restrictive measures adopted as a result of the COVID health crisis. Rosé consumption tends to drop sharply from autumn onwards. This has continued to be the case, given the ongoing state of emergency and the above-mentioned restrictions. Last year it was possible to offset this drop by introducing an exceptional temporary amendment to point 3.b.c of the product specification at the request of the Regulatory Board, with very positive consequences for our producers.

The positive effect of the above amendment shows that the exceptional temporary measure taken needs to be made permanent in light of the excellent results achieved. Avoiding prolonged rosé sales has ensured quality standards and avoided delays in placing the wine from the next harvest on the market, thus ensuring its competitiveness.

The proposed amendment is in line with European legislation, since point 2 of Article 7[Definition of coupage] of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/934 of 12 March 2019 supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council states as follows: ‘For the purposes of this paragraph, rosé wine shall be regarded as red wine.’

The quality of the young red wines resulting from the new vintage will be strengthened and their organoleptic characteristics even enhanced; the primary aromas, softening, tannins, etc. all have positive effects on the quality and distinctiveness of ‘Navarra’ PDO wines, in compliance with the analytical characteristics set out in point 2.a.c of the product specification for ‘Navarra’ PDO.

8.   Description of the link(s)

8.1.   Wine

The area covered by the ‘Navarra’ PDO is located in a geographical area to the north of the Iberian Peninsula which is ideal for the cultivation of the vine. The climate is Mediterranean with an Atlantic influence in the north-western region, with a cold and dry wind prevailing across the whole area. The average precipitation is between 400 and 500 mm. The soils have high levels of limestone, average levels of stoniness, and a clay-loam texture.

This geographical environment provides wines with medium-to-high acidity, with organoleptic sensations of freshness and a balanced taste and a certain mineral nature as a result of the typology of the soils.

8.2.   Liqueur wine

The wines are essentially produced using the Moscatel de Grano Menudo and Garnacha Tinta and Blanca varieties, which are native to Navarre and characterised by a high sugar content, roundness and unctuousness, with aromas of raisined grapes and a good balance between sweet and acid flavours. This high taste density is the result of specific climatic conditions characterised by a very dry climate, high temperatures during the growing period, low precipitation and a permanent water deficit.

9.   Essential further conditions (packaging, labelling, other requirements)

Legal framework:

In national legislation

Type of further condition:

Additional provisions relating to labelling

Description of the condition:

The typographic characters used to indicate the name of the PDO may not under any circumstances be less than 3 mm or more than 9 mm in height and must be clear, legible, indelible and not excessively thick, and the indication may not take up more than half of the total width of the label.

The logo of the PDO is obligatory and may not be less than 8 mm or more than 11 mm in diameter.
