(c)

Justification:

The amendment of the demarcated area does not affect the link between the production area and the product, because the characteristics of the areas included in the vineyard cadastre correspond to the demarcated area of the Etyek-Buda PDO. The classification of the wine region and the possibility to produce the Etyek-Buda PDO makes it possible for Biatorbágy to market these wines in a higher quality category, which may act as an incentive for more producers to enter the market and for the production of higher quality wine and help develop the local tourism and hospitality sector.

Justification:

The two municipalities are located on the southern side of Lake Velence and have the same natural and climatic conditions and soil structure as the adjacent municipalities already included in the Etyek-Buda PDO product specification. The amendment of the demarcated area does not affect the link between the production area and the product, because the characteristics of the area included in the vineyard cadastre correspond to the demarcated area of the Etyek-Buda PDO.

(c)

Justification:

The village of Tabajd and its administrative area are located in the northern part of Fejér County. Rolling hills and flat areas alternate on the outskirts of the municipality. The conditions here are excellent for the production of light, harmonious Muscat wines and sparkling wines and other white wine varieties. The amendment of the demarcated area does not affect the link between the production area and the product, because the characteristics of the area included in the vineyard cadastre correspond to the demarcated area of the Etyek-Buda PDO.

(c)

Justification:

Perbál is located on the slopes of the Buda and Nyakas Hills in the Zsámbék Basin. Grapes for producing quality wines have been grown in the municipality for centuries now.

The amendment of the demarcated area does not affect the link between the production area and the product, because the characteristics of the area included in the vineyard cadastre correspond to the demarcated area of the Etyek-Buda PDO.

(c)

Justification:

At the request of the municipality of Páty, five slopes (Hegyi-dűlő, Lövöldöző-hegy, Mézes-hegy, Nagy-hegy, Zsámbéki úti dűlő) have been added to the product specification. There is a long-standing tradition of winemaking on the Mézes-hegy and Nagy-hegy slopes, which form the bulk of the Páty vineyard area. Hegyi-dűlő and Lövöldöző-hegy lie between the magnificent cellar rows of Páty and Mézes-hegy, on a gentle south-western slope, enjoying a magnificent setting. Zsámbéki úti dűlő is a gentle western/south-western slope. By including the names of the slopes on which these select wines are produced, quality wines from a more narrowly defined area can be presented on the market.

Justification:

At the request of the Nyakas Wine Community, a new slope name (Felső-somos) has been added to the product specification. Prior to large-scale operation, the Somos/Felső-somos slope was divided into small, privately owned vineyards. This slope is classified as Class I in the vineyard cadastre. The area has been under vines again since 2015, producing excellent grapes for winemaking.

(c)

Justification:

Right up until his death in 2004, Tibor Báthori was an eminent figure in the Etyek-Buda wine region. He did much for the wine region and its wines, especially when it came to promoting awareness of Etyek Chardonnay. In 1992, he was voted winegrower of the year. A commemorative plaque in honour of Tibor Báthori has been unveiled in Etyek, and his name has been given to a slope – Báthori-dűlő – in the part of Öreg-hegy where his cellar was located.

9.   Not compulsory to indicate the vintage on Etyek-Buda PDO wines

| (c) | Justification: |
| --- | --- |

(c)

Justification:

To offset vintage effects. It is much easier to ensure consistent quality when blending wines without indicating the vintage. Indicating the vintage does not change the effect of the characteristics of the production area on the product, so this amendment would not fundamentally alter the nature of Etyek-Buda PDO wines.

10.   Use of the expression ‘Velencei-tavi’ [Lake Velence] in the case of wines produced in the Velence district

(c)

Justification:

Rather than designating a new product, the expression ‘Velencei-tavi’ [Lake Velence] replaces the expression ‘Velencei’ [Velence] used until now. The new expression can appear on wine products that comply with the rules of the product specification and are made from grapes from any of the municipalities of the Lake Velence Wine Community.

6.   Sparkling wine – Rosé

CONCISE TEXTUAL DESCRIPTION

The wines have few colour components, but will invariably have a bright-salmon and onion-peel colour, with a shiny, purply hue. The aroma of Etyek-Buda sparkling wines is characterised by the intense fruitiness of red fruits (cherry, sour cherry), which continues on the palate. Highly acidic, the taste of Etyek-Buda rosé sparkling wines is characterised by mature acids, with no trace of bitterness or tartness.

7.   Quality sparkling wine – White

CONCISE TEXTUAL DESCRIPTION

The white quality sparkling wines are a pale-green colour, with a tinge of golden yellow. The aromas of white-fleshed fruits (peach, nectarine, apple, pear, lychee) dominate, complemented by roasted, biscuity notes as a result of lengthy maturation. Despite having a high degree of acidity, the acids of Etyek-Buda white quality sparkling wines are not sharp and fit well into the texture of a quality sparkling wine. As well as preserving their creamy flavour, which develops during maturation, Etyek-Buda white quality sparkling wines also retain their characteristic flavour of white-fleshed fruits.

8.   Quality sparkling wine – Rosé

CONCISE TEXTUAL DESCRIPTION

These wines are salmon-coloured, with tinges of pink and purple. Their medium-intensity aromas of red-fleshed fruits (cherries, sour cherries, blueberries, blackberries) are complemented by notes of toasted hazelnut that develop during maturation. In addition to an acidity that forms the backbone of these wines, the flavours of red fruits also dominate.

8.   Description of the link(s)

8.1.   Wine, sparkling wine, quality sparkling wine – Natural factors

The demarcated area for the production of Etyek-Buda wines lies in the north-eastern part of the Central Transdanubian Uplands and extends from the southern part of the Gerecse Uplands to the Velence and Buda Hills, on the slopes and plateaus of which the grapes are grown. The production area is located at the northern edge of the winegrowing region, at 47 degrees latitude.

The dominant soil type for Etyek-Buda is copper-rich brown forest soil, which developed largely on a limestone base.

With its northerly location and hilly landscape, the climate of Etyek-Buda is cooler than the Hungarian average, the annual temperature here averaging 9,5–10,5 °C. Average annual precipitation stands at 650 mm, most of which falls during the vegetation period.

A common feature of the climate of Etyek-Buda is the constant wind throughout the wine region. The prevailing winds are north-westerly, which invariably bring cool air masses to the wine region.

8.2.   Wine – Human factors (1)

Viticulture and viniculture have been well-established in Etyek-Buda since the time of the Árpád dynasty, and the development of what are now traditional viticultural and vinicultural processes was greatly influenced by historical upheavals and the settlement of various linguistic minorities in the region. Each ethnic group brought its own unique winegrowing culture, enriching the diversity of Etyek-Buda. This diversity is best symbolised by the large number of varieties grown here, which have acclimatised to the region over the centuries. The use of a large number of varieties is explained by the fact that local producers, keen to mitigate vintage effects, have been able to produce the quality of raw material required for the production of high-quality wines.

The first Magyar settlers played a key role in developing the diversity of varieties, by bringing to Etyek-Buda grape varieties that would be selected by local producers over the millennium. Numerous descendants of these varieties are grown in the region to this day, most notably Juhfark.

8.3.   Wine – Human factors (2)

Following the Ottoman occupation, the German-speaking settlers introduced a red-grape variety, Kékoportó (in German ‘Portugieser’), to the region, and with it the process of maceration for the production of red wine.

Following the phylloxera epidemic, local winemakers introduced western varieties that adapted well to local ecological conditions and brought out the unique characteristics of the Etyek-Buda production area in the wines made from those varieties. The late 19th and early 20th century saw the introduction of the Olaszrizling, Szürkebarát and the now predominant Chardonnay varieties.

In the 20th century, local winegrowers began to focus increasingly on aromatic varieties such as Sauvignon and Ottonel muskotály. Of these, several newly bred varieties selected according to local ecological conditions entered into production (e.g. Irsai Olivér, Zenit).

As aromatic varieties have gained ground, fast, anaerobic technology has become predominant in the wine region.

8.4.   Wine – Description of the wines

A common feature of Etyek-Buda wines is their richness of aromas and flavours. Both their taste and aroma are characterised by a resounding fruitiness, the complexity of which is complemented by the minerality of Etyek-Buda wines. Despite their high degree of acidity, their acids are mature and fresh, which gives Etyek-Buda wines their freshness.

8.5.   Wine – Link between the production area, human factors and the product (1)

The cool climate of Etyek-Buda due to its mountainous exposure is intensified by the north-westerly air currents that ensure a constant movement of air in the wine region. In the summer heat, the acids of the grapes remain lively thanks to the fresh breezes. Due to the constant movement of air and the low cultivation methods that have developed over the centuries, the foliage wall is easily penetrated by the wind. This helps prevent the development of fungal infections on the vines and allows the grapes to be harvested healthy and intact. During the typically cool dawns of autumn, the grapes cool down, which allows them to be processed at lower temperatures.

These natural factors contribute to the fruitiness and fresh acid structure of Etyek-Buda wines, as the oxidation processes are slower during transport and processing in the case of grapes harvested at low temperatures.

8.6.   Wine – Link between the production area, human factors and the product (2)

This natural effect is enhanced by a centuries-old practice in the wine region in which the grapes are processed as quickly as possible after harvesting. This practice forms part of the experience and expertise of local winemakers that guarantee the quality of Etyek-Buda wines.

Thanks to the water-retaining capacity of the brown forest soils, the vines have sufficient water supply even in the summer heat. On the slopes and hillsides, sunlight enters the soil surface and the vines at a greater angle of incidence. The combination of these two natural factors guarantees the continuous, balanced development of the vines. Thanks to the typically high foliage wall, the factors that inhibit photosynthesis are uncommon, so the grapes can be harvested earlier, with a high sugar content.

8.7.   Sparkling wine and quality sparkling wine – Human factors (1)

The development of sparkling-wine production in Etyek-Buda, in which viticulture and viniculture have been well-established since the time of the Árpád dynasty, can be traced back to the end of the 19th century. The history of sparkling wine production in Etyek-Buda is closely linked to the name of the sparkling wine producer József Törley, who, based on the areas he purchased in the second half of the 19th century, set up a champagne-type sparkling wine production plant in Etyek-Buda in 1882. He realised that grapes from Etyek made an excellent base for sparkling wine and that the cellars of Budafok (Promontorium) were well-suited to sparkling wine production.

The flourishing of winemaking in Etyek-Buda can be attributed to this, so that by the early 1910s, as many as two million bottles of sparkling wine were being produced from Etyek-Buda wines.

In addition to József Törley, his master in sparkling wine production Louis François – who would go on to found his own sparkling wine plant in Etyek-Buda – also played a key role in developing the tradition of sparkling wine production in Etyek-Buda.

After the Second World War, the Hungarovin winery in Budafok became the centre of sparkling wine production. The production of sparkling wine was given further impetus by the introduction, alongside the traditional production method, of a decanting and container-based production process. Nowadays, the legal successor of Hungarovin, Törley Pezsgőpincészet, which has the largest winegrowing area in the region, continues these sparkling wine-growing traditions by adapting its techniques to the quality requirements of sparkling wine production and applying all three production methods.

8.8.   Sparkling wine – Human factors (2)

The uniqueness of sparkling wine production in Etyek-Buda lies in the varietal composition. The unique and essential feature of Etyek-Buda sparkling wines is their wide variation of varieties. The world’s main sparkling wine-producing regions are characterised by the fact that only a few grape varieties have taken root there, especially those that have been able to adapt to the very specific climate conditions. Each of the white grape varieties permitted in the Etyek-Buda wine region is well-suited to the production of white sparkling wine. That said, the leading varieties are Chardonnay, Chasselas, Zöld veltelíni, Olaszrizling and Mézesfehér, which account for 60 % of the total vineyard area. The use of a large number of varieties is explained by the fact that local producers, keen to mitigate vintage effects, have always managed to produce the quality of raw material required for the production of high-quality base wines. Having listed the white grape varieties, the importance of red grape varieties – including Pinot noir, which is the perfect raw material for both white and rosé sparkling wines – should not be overlooked.

8.9.   Sparkling wine – Description of the wines

A common feature of Etyek-Buda sparkling wines is their richness of aromas and flavours, as well as their freshness. Both their taste and aroma are characterised by a resounding fruitiness and complexity.

The acids are fresh and crispy yet airy, accompanied by a steely texture.

8.10.   Sparkling wine – Link between the production area, human factors and the product (1)

The three techniques for the production of Etyek-Buda sparkling wines have always used a wide range of varieties, ensuring that sparkling wines with different styles and sugar contents can be made from these grape varieties.

The limestone-rich soils contribute, alongside the climate, to the high degree of acidity of the base wines, which is optimal for the production of sparkling wines. The annual precipitation is sufficient to ensure the grapes mature at the right pace, but not high enough to cause fungal infections on the grapes.

The near-constant winds that blow over the gentle slopes help even the wet grapes to dry and any spraying activity to be more effective. During the typically cool dawns of autumn, the grapes cool down, which allows them to be processed at lower temperatures.

These natural factors contribute to the fruitiness and fresh acid structure of Etyek-Buda sparkling wines, as the oxidation processes are slower during transport and processing for grapes harvested at low temperatures.

8.11.   Sparkling wine – Link between the production area, human factors and the product (2)

As a result of these effects, healthy grapes can be harvested even before the onset of unfavourable autumn weather. The wine produced from those grapes meets the organoleptic requirements of the base wine used to produce the sparkling wine.

These wines are light in colour, and are always fresh, fragrant and slightly aromatic due to the richness of varieties. Thanks to the limestone soil, they are rich in acidity, with a low pH; their acids are fresh and crispy, accompanied by an airy yet steely texture. Sparkling wines produced from Etyek-Buda base wines have a unique complexity of aromas and tastes thanks to the diversity of varieties, and a vigorous acidity, which is accompanied at all times by a fruity taste.

8.12.   Quality sparkling wine – Human factors (2)

Carved into the rock, the Budafok cellar system is particularly well-suited to the lengthy maturation required to produce the quality sparkling wines.

The uniqueness of quality sparkling wine production in Etyek-Buda lies in the varietal composition. The unique and essential feature of Etyek-Buda quality sparkling wines is their wide variation of varieties. The world’s main sparkling wine-producing regions are characterised by the fact that only a few grape varieties have taken root there, especially those that have been able to adapt to the very specific climate conditions. Each of the white grape varieties permitted in the Etyek-Buda wine region is well-suited to the production of white sparkling wine. That said, the leading varieties are Chardonnay, Chasselas, Zöld veltelíni, Olaszrizling and Mézesfehér, which account for 60 % of the total vineyard area. The use of a large number of varieties is explained by the fact that local producers, keen to mitigate vintage effects, have always managed to produce the quality of raw material required for the production of high-quality base wines. Having listed the white grape varieties, the importance of red grape varieties – including Pinot noir, which is the perfect raw material for both white and rosé sparkling wines – should not be overlooked.

8.13.   Quality sparkling wine – Description of the wines

The aromas of Etyek-Buda quality sparkling wines are characterised by a medium intensity, which is complemented by an elegant fruitiness, while their taste is characterised by an acidity that forms the backbone of these wines, as well as their firmness and ageing potential. The acids are fresh and crispy, accompanied by an airy yet steely texture.

8.14.   Quality sparkling wine – Link between the production area, human factors and the product (1)

Over the decades, producers in the Etyek-Buda wine region have come to realise that healthy, intact grapes free from any defects and possessing the properties of internationally renowned varieties are required for a quality sparkling wine to age well. The quality of Etyek-Buda white quality sparkling wines is greatly influenced not only by the properties of the production area, but also by the maturation period.

These international grape varieties include the long-established Chardonnay or Pinot noir, but both Olaszrizling and the internationally renowned Rajnai rizling (Rhine Riesling) varieties are also found in the Etyek-Buda wine region. In addition to the complex environmental factors mentioned above, one of the key attributes of the quality sparkling wines of the Etyek-Buda wine region is that they include varieties that are capable of producing wines with a high degree of acidity, which are excellent for the production of sparkling wines. These varieties retain the character of the grapes even when harvested early, without the aromas and flavours characteristic of green, unripe grapes appearing. This enables sparkling wine of suitable quality and style to be produced for consumers, without any negative vintage effects.

8.15.   Quality sparkling wine – Link between the production area, human factors and the product (2)

The limestone bedrock of the soil of Etyek-Buda mixes with loess and loam, so that despite the high degree of acidity, those acids are not sharp and fit well into the texture of the sparkling wine.

The low temperature and humid air provided by the maturation cellars carved into the Etyek-Buda limestone not only enable the biscuity aromas and creamy flavours characteristic of quality sparkling wines to develop, but also allow the Etyek-Buda quality sparkling wines to retain the characteristics of their variety even after maturation. Thus, although their flavour shows signs of ageing, they also have the characteristic flavour of white-fleshed fruits.

As far as Etyek-Buda rosé quality sparkling wines are concerned, in addition to the climatic, soil and precipitation conditions already mentioned, it is of paramount importance that the grapes used as raw material, which combine a high degree of acidity and mature tannin content, can be harvested very early on.
