Date of application: 25.1.2018

1.   Rules applicable to the amendment

Article 105 of Regulation (EU) n° 1308/2013 – Non-minor modification

2.   Description and reasons for amendment

2.1.   Addition of the aerated semi-sparkling wine product category

Wine producers have started to make aerated semi-sparkling wines in response to changing market demands. Advances in the available technology have made it possible to achieve increasingly good quality, which has led to increased demand and production. The outstanding Pannon PDO wines can also be used to make homogeneous and high-quality products conforming to the specification.

2.2.   Addition of the sparkling wine product category

A combination of market demand and wine-makers’ entrepreneurship triggered the production of various sparkling wines. The base wines for sparkling wine have long been produced in the wine region. The family wineries established here have added their own sparkling wines to their product ranges. The grape varieties listed in the product specification for Pannon PDO wine yield particularly good-quality sparkling wines, making it possible to achieve uniform and higher quality.

Main grape varieties

2.4.   Amendment of municipalities outside the demarcated production area: the addition of Varsád

The wine-production plant in Varsád processes grapes originating from the defined area for Pannon PDO. The quality of the wine-sector products made from these grapes meets the requirements of this product specification. (The municipality of Dég was already registered in the initial application as a municipality outside the demarcated production area.)

Headings affected:

Further conditions

2.5.   Addition of the municipalities of Cikó, Fürged, Magyarszék, Németkér, Pálfa, Pári and Somberek to the demarcated production area

These municipalities belong to the same administrative unit for the purposes of Article 5(1)(b) of Regulation (EU) 2019/33 (2) as the demarcated production area. They form an integral part of the geographical area by virtue of their soil properties and location.

Headings affected:

Demarcated geographical area

2.6.   Deletion of the municipalities of Aba and Seregélyes from the demarcated production area

These municipalities have been removed from the public administration for the demarcated area and form part of another wine region. They do not form part of the geographical area by virtue of their soil properties and location and should therefore be removed from the list of municipalities in the demarcated production area.

8.   Description of the link(s)

8.1.   Natural factors

The Pannon wine region comprises four wine-growing areas located in the hilly area bounded by the River Danube, the River Drava and Lake Balaton, and on the southern slopes of the Villány and Mecsek ranges situated between them. These are the Pécs, Villány, Szekszárd and Tolna wine-growing areas.

The base rock of the Tolna and Baranya hills is argillaceous and sandy sedimentary soil, which is covered by loess and loam. The limestone blocks of the Villány Hills and the Mecsek are in many places covered by loess and loam soils.

The soil of the Pannon wine region is very favourable for wine-growing.

The climate is continental, with major Mediterranean influences from the south.

The annual average temperature is 10-12 °C. The average number of sunshine hours exceeds 2 000 per year. With a few exceptions, the precipitation is approximately 600 mm.

The region’s climate and weather are particularly suitable for the production of both white and black grapes.

8.2.   Wine: Human factors

The area is one of Hungary’s oldest wine-producing regions. Viticulture was brought to Hungary, i.e. Pannonia, first by the Celts and then by the Romans. The significance of viticulture in this region is also supported by the discovery of artefacts.

In those early days, people living in the region observed the natural conditions that provided an excellent basis for viticulture and wine production. There are several written records of wines produced in this region dating back as far as the early Middle Ages. Well-tended vineyards are to be found at all the abbeys that were established in great numbers during the Árpád era.

The flourishing of viticulture was hindered only by the wars with the Turks, for some 150 years.

Local wine-making was developed further by the Germans who settled in the wine region in the 18th century. The Serbs who settled in this period introduced the production of Kadarka, from which red wine was produced using a new method: fermentation on the skins.

From among the dozens of cultivated varieties, two grape varieties used for the production of red wine became decisive during the replanting in the 18th century: one was Kadarka, which was brought from the Balkans by the Serbs while fleeing the Turks; the other was Kékoportó, which was introduced to Villány by German settlers and is said to be of Portuguese origin. The region is better known for its red wines, but white varieties predominated in the areas of Siklós, Tolna and the Mecsek: Olaszrizling, Hárslevelű, Cirfandli and Furmint.

The red wine production method of Balkan origin was introduced with Kadarka. Trodden blue grapes were fermented in large wooden tanks on farms in the vineyards of Szekszárd and in press-houses built in the cellars on the edge of the village of Villány. Following fermentation, the top of the marc base was sealed with mud and aged for a month. The wines were then poured into barrels. In Southern Transdanubia, brighter, pleasantly fresh-tasting red wines known as ‘siller’ or ‘fuchsli’ were produced by shorter maceration on skins.

Both red and white wines are produced in the Pannon wine region, but red wines have become more significant nowadays. At the beginning of the 20th century Kadarka and Kékoportó still provided the basis for red wines, but in recent decades Kadarka has been replaced by Kékfrankos, and the following international varieties have become widespread: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Bordeaux-type cuveé wines aged in new wooden barrels are often produced from these varieties. Olaszrizling, Hárslevelű, Rajnai rizling and Chardonnay are the dominant types of white varieties.

8.3.   Wine: Description of the wines

Generally speaking, the wines of the demarcated area are medium or full-bodied thanks to the south-facing slopes, and thus warmer climatic conditions prevail, which leads to a higher degree of sugar ripening and a medium or high alcohol content and is in proportion to the fullness of the body. The mature style also manifests itself in fruitiness and strong tannins (of the red wines).

8.4.   Wine: Presentation and demonstration of the causal link

Owing to the Pannon wine region’s continental climate, combined with Mediterranean influences, and its south-facing slopes, Pannon wines are principally of a Mediterranean type and are characterised by a complex, elegant acidity. Owing to the sedimentary subsoil of the Tolna and Baranya hills, the region’s wines have a predominantly fruity taste. Thanks to the high number of sunshine hours, the region’s wines are typically full-bodied, with a higher alcohol content. Owing to the natural conditions, Pannon rosé and red wines contain silky tannins.

Because of the Mediterranean influence, the region’s grape and wine producers are also able to harvest late-ripening white and red wine grape varieties (e.g. Olasz rizling, Furmint, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon) when they are ripe and have a high sugar content.

Owing to the often favourable autumn weather conditions, it is possible to harvest both raisined and over-ripe grapes. This is evidenced by the widespread production of wines from late-harvest, select-harvest and raisined grapes in this region. These superior-quality wines combine the expertise which the region’s wine producers have built up over the centuries and passed on from one generation to the next with its natural conditions and the production potential of local varieties.

The people who live in the Pannon wine region possess a knowledge and love of viticulture that dates back centuries. The Swabians who settled in the territory of the Pannon wine region laid the foundations for today’s viticulture and wine production. Family wineries set up in the early 1990s re-established wine production and have been able to make higher-quality products, for which they have also found a market.

8.5.   Sparkling wine: Human factors

In addition to the natural and human factors described for wine, the following applies to Pannon sparkling wines:

The production of sparkling wine in the Pannon wine region stretches back 100 years. Sparkling wines produced after the first sparkling wine plant was established in 1912 were very successful and made a name for themselves nationally.

Producers in the Pannon wine sub-region revived the traditions of making sparkling wine, placing Pannon sparkling wine on the market again.

The products owed their success to the know-how and renown of local grape growers and wine makers. A key feature of Pannon sparkling wine production is the traditional process and bottle fermentation, as a result of which the secondary flavours and aromas develop in addition to the primary fruity fragrances.

8.6.   Sparkling wine: Description of the wines

As a result of longer ageing, the white sparkling wines range in colour from pale yellow to golden yellow, the rosé sparkling wines from onion skin to raspberry pink and the red sparkling wines from ruby to deep red. The fragrance and taste of Pannon sparkling wines are determined by the primary, intensely fruity or spicy (in the case of rosé and red) taste and aroma substances characteristic of the grapes; these are complemented by secondary aromas. Pannon sparkling wines have fresh acids.

8.7.   Sparkling wine: Presentation and demonstration of the causal link

The wine region comprises Hungary’s four southern wine-growing areas. The local climate is determined by continental and Mediterranean influences. The number of sunshine hours is greater than the national average. The annual amount and relatively even distribution of precipitation and the relatively good water retention properties of the soils both help to ensure that the vines have an adequate supply of water during the vegetation period. This is particularly important in the case of sparkling wines, as it prevents the formation in the wine of vegetal, musty odours and immature, harsh acids that would be accentuated by the carbon dioxide resulting from the second alcoholic fermentation.

The long vegetation period and the high heat sum ensure optimum conditions for the grapes used to make the base wines for the sparkling wines to ripen properly and for their fresh acids to be preserved.

The location of the vineyards, the Mediterranean climatic conditions, the clayey, nutrient-rich calcareous-loess soils and grape varieties best suited to the production area combine to give Pannon sparkling wine its unique character, which preserves the complex fruity or spicy fragrance and aroma substances, and its freshness and elegant acidity, even after the second alcoholic fermentation. Sparkling wines with elegant, delicate secondary fragrances resulting from the longer ageing that is part of the traditional production process are typical of the wine region.

8.8.   Aerated semi-sparkling wine: Human factors

In addition to the human factors already described for wine, the following applies to Pannon aerated semi-sparkling wine:

Aerated semi-sparkling wine is a product category that is relatively new to the Pannon wine region. The region’s producers started to produce it from the grapes traditionally grown here and used to make the base wine for sparkling wine, and they had success in marketing it on the domestic market.

The product owes its commercial and economic success to the know-how and renown of local grape growers and wine makers. Pannon aerated semi-sparkling wine is typically produced from varieties grown here, the time of harvesting being selected in such a way as to ensure that, during processing, the grapes’ natural primary taste and aroma substances can be preserved; the addition of carbon dioxide prior to bottling has the effect of accentuating this.

8.9.   Aerated semi-sparkling wine: Description of the wines

Pannon aerated white, rosé and semi-sparkling wines typically have a harmonious acid content, are lively and have fresh, complex fruity aromas.

8.10.   Aerated semi-sparkling wine: Presentation and demonstration of the causal link

The region comprises Hungary’s four southern wine-growing areas. The local climate is determined by continental and Mediterranean influences. This is the part of Hungary where spring arrives first, and the number of sunshine hours is higher than the national average. The annual amount and relatively even distribution of precipitation and the relatively good water retention properties of the soils both help to ensure that the grapes have an adequate supply of water during the vegetation period. This is particularly important in the case of the aerated semi-sparkling wines, as it prevents the formation in the wine of vegetal, musty odours and immature, harsh acids that would be accentuated by the carbon dioxide present in the wine.

The location of the vineyards, the Mediterranean climate, the clayey, nutrient-rich calcareous-loess soils and varieties that are well-suited to the production area combine to give the product a unique character, as reflected in the complex fruity taste and aroma substances, freshness and elegant acidity.

2.   Organoleptic description of the wines

Organoleptic description of the wines

BRIEF WRITTEN DESCRIPTION

The red wines account for 40 % of production. They are made from the variety Nielluccio N, which represents at least 90 % of grapes in the varietal mix and in blending. It produces full-bodied wines with structured tannins, guaranteeing good ageing ability. The wines are deeply coloured: bright red, ruby or garnet. Their natural alcoholic strength by volume is often high, exceeding 13 %. The aromas of the young wines suggest red fruits, such as blackcurrant or blackberry, with occasional woody notes, but over time develop spiced aromas, and also toasted and balsamic touches.

The rosé wines are usually the product of a skilful blend of grape varieties in which Nielluccio N represents at least 75 %, and which also includes the varieties Sciaccarello N, Grenache N and Vermentino B. They are still, dry wines with a bright pink colour, well-balanced with aromatic characteristics suggesting raspberry and gooseberry. Generally drunk when young, they are synonymous with freshness.

The white wines are still and dry. They are made exclusively from the Vermentino B variety, which tends to give them a great aromatic richness. The floral aromas suggesting white flowers, hawthorn and broom are particularly noticeable when the wines are young.

Description of the natural factors relevant to the link

Situated at the foot of Cap Corse, looking out over the Gulf of Saint-Florent, the geographical area comprises a vast natural amphitheatre opening out into its plain, its hills and valleys. To the east, towards Bastia, and to the south, towards the Agriates Desert, the area is enclosed by a dense network of small coastal rivers and by a line of ridges.

The area extends over seven municipalities in the department of Haute-Corse, covering the region of Nebbiu, which means ‘fog’ in the Corsican language.

The relief is stark, reflecting the land rifts that shook the region in the secondary (Mesozoic) era. The geological substratum is composed of lustrous schists from the ocean floor, covered with sedimentary deposits to the west, and crystalline deposits to the east. This geological situation has given rise to a landscape of rounded limestone hills and a monocline running from Poggio–d’Oletta to Farinole. Most of the vineyards are planted in the low-lying area formed by the monocline, called the ‘Conca d’Oro’, meaning ‘rich conch’, which is situated some tens of metres above the sea and characterised by a complex topography. Vineyards are also planted on hillsides or, on a smaller scale, on the well-drained sea plain, as for example north-west of the municipality of Patrimonio.

Vines occupy most of the cultivated areas, while the vegetation cover in the uncultivated areas is a dense, often impenetrable, shrub-land with patches of wild olive trees and woodlands of holm oak in the hollows.

The uniqueness of the ‘Patrimonio’ territory is due to the complexity of the soils in this low-lying area, which vary considerably according to municipality, altitude and proximity to the sea. For the most part, the soils are clay and limestone to the west, and have a high stone and schist content towards Poggio-d’Oletta to the east.

The Mediterranean climate benefits from the moderating effect associated with proximity to the sea on this natural amphitheatre facing the setting sun. The Maestrale, from the north-west, and the Libecciu, from the south-west, are seasonal winds that strongly influence the vegetation. Differences in temperature are moderate.

Corsican wine-growing dates back to antiquity. The Greeks introduced the vine six centuries before Christ. The Romans later developed the wine trade beyond the island.

With the fall of the Roman Empire, wine exports became less frequent. Wine-growing was not revived until the 11th century, with the Pisans, mainly for the production of communion wine.

In the 15th century, under Genoese rule, wine-growing, and especially ‘Patrimonio’ occupied pride of place. At the end of the 18th century, wines from the Nebbiu region were loaded onto sailing boats at Saint-Florent and taken around Cap Corse to be unloaded at Bastia. There they were tasted and, if they successfully passed the test, they were authorised to be exported under the name ‘vini navigati’: ‘wines that have sailed’.

vini navigati

Among the first to opt for developing quality, the producers of ‘Patrimonio’ first applied for recognition as a controlled designation of origin in 1942. The regulatory constraints and the particular situation of the island meant that the decree of recognition was not signed until spring 1968.

In 2008, ‘Patrimonio’ vineyards covered a surface area of 410 hectares, producing 14 200 hectolitres made in 32 individual wineries.

8.2.   Causal interactions

Causal interactions

This small but lively and rich region is well-sheltered from the winds with excellent exposure to the setting sun. It produces some of the best-known wines of Corsica, and was the first controlled designation of origin recognised on the island.

The Mediterranean climate, the low-lying topography formed by the monocline, and the limestone soil are all features that allow Nielluccio N to be the pre-eminent grape variety in the ‘Patrimonio’ vineyards. It is pre-eminent in the domain of Bacchus as it is the blood of Jove, ‘sanguis jovis’, a blood that the limestone of ‘Patrimonio’ renders rich and deeply coloured.

sanguis jovis

Symbol of Corsican vine-growing heritage, Nielluccio N is to ‘Patrimonio’ what Sciaccarello N is to ‘Ajaccio’.

The hills are scattered at the heart of the geographical area, providing shelter from the wind for the vines that deploy all their leaves to receive the warm sunshine, largely untroubled by the vagaries of the parching summer winds.

The parcel area is clearly demarcated for the grape harvest with the best parcels. They sheltered by the slopes, benefitting from the best aspects and maritime influences, offering mainly clay and limestone soils, or with smaller patches developed on limestone or lustrous schist.

In these conditions, plants and their production potential need to be extremely well managed by means of vine-training, spur pruning and low yields. The local conditions are apparent in the aromatic richness of the wines, the elegant tannic structure of the red wines and the generosity of the rosé wines.

Benefitting from the natural surroundings, the presence of the vineyards is above all the result of the local wine-growers’ expertise. They had the knowledge to select the best sites, to maintain traditional vine varieties and to produce wines that have been able to stand the test of time, guarding their identity which has become well-known to informed consumers.

The vineyards are divided into small properties. There the skills acquired over generations have made possible the expression of noble wines, glorious embodiments of the particular characteristics of the great Corsican grape varieties.

The 30th anniversary of the controlled designation of origin ‘Patrimonio’ occurred on 11 November 1998. Since then, a tradition has been established of ‘A San Martino’ or ‘La Saint-Martin’, the feast of the patron saint of wine-growers and sharing of wine. The occasion of opening the barrel of the new vintage, escorted by a Bacchic company, is an annual opportunity for a party.
