(c)


justification: The Mór wine region has a century-old tradition of producing full-bodied, heavy, ripe white wines. The amendment is intended to protect this tradition and to protect and create a related higher quality category with requirements such as lower average production rates, better quality grapes and compliance with specific oenological practices indicated.




2.   Inclusion of new permitted grape varieties (Generosa, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Syrah)







(a)


Product specification headings affected:






—


VI. Permitted grape varieties














(b)


Single document section affected:






—


Main grape variety (grape varieties)














(c)


justification: The work performed by Hungarian grape breeders over recent decades has resulted in several new grape varieties, of which Generosa has already been planted by several producers within the demarcated area. In recent years, wines made from the Generosa variety have gained high recognition both in professional circles and among consumers, thus improving the reputation of the wine region. The Pinot Blanc variety has been present in the wine region for decades, albeit only in a small area. Several cellars sell high quality wines made entirely from Pino Blanc grapes. The potential of this variety can be clearly fully tapped in the wine region. The authorisation of the Pinot Noir grape variety in the wine region is important for the producers both of rosé wines and of sparkling wines. Rosé is a category which meets the modern wine consumer’s taste in virtually all respects and which, besides the classical white wines, can make a difference in the cooler climate Mór wine region. The Syrah variety has been present in the wine region for many years, although not in a large area. Its relatively late flowering and early ripening may be beneficial in the wine region, where lighter wines are made from it. Its peppery, spicy and sometimes mineral notes make it special in the wine region.

Wine – White

The white wines are green-white, straw-yellow or golden yellow in colour, with pale or light shades. They are characterised by fresh, lively acidity, floral or fruity notes, lightness and freshness. They mostly lack the characteristics of ageing in barrels. The medium-bodied wines are typically aromatic with a pronounced character. The characteristics of the indicated variety are generally easily recognised.

8.   Link with the geographical area

Wine (1)
1.   Description of the demarcated area

(a)   Natural and cultural factors

One of Hungary’s smallest historical wine regions, the Mór wine region lies on the Vértes side of the Mór Valley, which is cupped between the Vértes and Bakony Hills in Fejér County.
The microclimate and prevailing wind direction of the wine region is influenced by the Mór Valley, which is a tectonic fault line between the Bakony and Vértes Hills. Today’s morphological characteristics were determined by surface formation in the Late Pliocene Epoch and the Quaternary Period, which produced buttes with gravel caps, long and broad ridges, rugged and gently sloping pediments. The Vértes is a karstic medium mountain range with a horst and graben structure.
The brown forest soil with clay illuviation and the brown soil largely developed on loess mixed with limestone debris and Oligocene sands. The dolomite and limestone are covered by rendzina soils.
The climate is suited to growing vines, although it is cooler than the average. The winters are mild, with considerable air movement throughout the year. The sun shines on most of the vineyards throughout the summer. The annual mean temperature is 10 °C. The area is characterised by moderate light conditions and 600–650 mm of precipitation. Most of the rain falls in the summer, the least in February and March. The prevailing winds are north-westerly. The weather is usually moderately cool and relatively rainy.
(b)   Human factors

Vine growing in the area is thought to go back to as early as Roman times. However, deeds issued after the foundation of the Hungarian state in the 11th century provide clear evidence of local viticulture. The first written record dates from after the Conquest in the Middle Ages. The will of Lord Miklós Csák in 1231 makes first mention of the Vajal (Mór) vineyards.
Ottoman rule was detrimental to vine cultivation in the area. The Turkish garrison withdrawing from Csókakő Castle burned down villages, also destroying the vineyards.
Assuming a crucial role in subsequent recovery were the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin and the German settlers (introduced to the area by the Hochburgs and the Lambergs), who had brought with them modern equipment and sophisticated vine-growing and wine-making traditions. Founding their monastery between 1694 and 1696, the Capuchin monks of Mór maintained close links with fellow monks of the order in Tokaj. Tradition has it that they sent them cuttings of the Ezerjó variety to help them replant the vineyards.
The Ezerjó variety, today a ‘Hungaricum’, became the main grape variety in the wine region in the course of replanting after the phylloxera epidemic. The recovery of vine and wine played a major role in Mór becoming a market town in 1758.
Historical records show that raisined grapes were harvested for the first time in the wine region in 1834. In the 19th century, thanks to good transportability, increasing quantities of the wines of the region were sold on the Austrian market.
Although the first wine community in the area was established in Csákberény in 1882, following its application in 1901 the creation of the independent Mór wine region was registered by decree in 1928.
From after the Second World War until the end of the 1980s, the Mór State Farm provided the technological background for vine cultivation and grape processing, the necessary storage capacities and a significant part of the marketing opportunities in the wine region. By the mid-1980s, the wine-growing area had once again reached the largest expanse of previous centuries. In addition to supplying the domestic market, sales were mainly focused on export to the Soviet Union.
Following the regime change in 1990, the State Farm was wound up, its wine-growing capacities dismantled, and with privatisation, the destiny of the wine region was back in the hands of local decision-makers, individual farmers and wineries. This, in turn, significantly changed the structure of viniculture. Many families became wine-growers by profession, and there are now many flourishing wineries in Mór and its surroundings. The wine-growing area of the wine region has been reduced to 685 ha.
Thanks to the development, centuries-old experience and expertise of these family wineries, Mór wines are becoming increasingly popular with consumers. This trend is evidenced by the numerous gold medals won at national and international wine competitions and the opening up of sales to foreign markets.
Wine (2)
2.   Description of the wines

Mór wines have a rich bouquet of fragrances and aromas, a relatively high alcoholic strength and acidity, and are pleasant and usually dry. An expressive, full-bodied character and balanced acidity make these wines highly pleasurable. Good vintages in particular produce harmonious wines boasting pronounced acids with corresponding body, which, given the right wine-making technology and maturation, make for premium wines.
Mór wines are most frequently referred to in the literature as firm, pronounced and ‘masculine’. The wines of the region have the backbone, body, sugar content and acidity that usually characterise great wines. The calcareous soil imparts to the wines an acidic backbone, to which they owe their exceptional palatability. The same acidic backbone affords selected-variety Premium wines the keeping quality allowing them to develop and grow for up to several years.
Due to the draughty nature of the Mór Valley, fungal grapevine diseases are uncommon. This allows healthy grapes to be processed in most of the vintage years. White wines made from healthy fruit are also excellent for long-term ageing and for the production of historical wines (‘muzeális borok’).
Under favourable weather conditions, the grapes of the Ezerjó variety ripen to a golden yellow and have an exquisite flavour. In certain vintage years, botrytised grapes may be used to produce special-quality main wine.
3.   Link between the production area, human factors and the product

Thanks to the natural and human factors of the geographical environment, the Mór wine region has produced nationally famed wines for centuries.
The favourable meso- and microclimate on the south–south-western slopes of the mountains and hills, has developed good local growing conditions.
The specific ‘draughty’ nature of the valley is a great asset in curbing fungal grapevine diseases, reducing or avoiding frost risks, or manipulating their frequency. Other beneficial features include favourable exposure and excellent sunlight utilisation on the steep south-western slopes on the edge of the Mór Valley. Mór wines also owe their distinctive character to the relatively high lime content of the soils.
Grape-growing and wine-making in the region boast a wide range of unique traditional characteristics, which are crucial in their long-term effects. The significant differences in vine cultivation and grape processing compared to other wine regions can be put down, first, to the fact that the German-speaking settlers brought with them the cultivation practices of their home regions; second, to the Capuchin monks introducing new vine-growing and wine-making methods; and third, to the fact that these peculiarities largely developed locally, in isolation at the time.
Traditionally cultivated vineyards still employ ‘bald’ pruning and head-training with stakes, typical of the wine region, which aims to bring the bunches on the plants closer to the soil, which heats up during the day, thereby ensuring good ripening and better quality. Mór wine producers adhere to this cultivation approach to this day. All winemakers in the region seek to maintain low grapevine training methods.
Also, careful debudding helps to evenly spread out the buds, contributing to the healthy growth of the grapes, which is the key to the production of fruity Mór wines.
The raw material produced in this way is highly suitable for longer maturation of, for example, premium wines, which are traditionally made in the wine region using casks. This is because the smaller surface area allows longer maturation in wooden barrels.
The ruling variety and trademark of the wine region until the 1950s, the Ezerjó has since been accompanied by a number of predominantly white grape varieties. These include Zöld veltelíni, Rizlingszilváni, Rajnai rizling, Chardonnay, Leányka, Királyleányka, Sauvignon, Szürkebarát and Tramini, as well as a few blue grape varieties grown on a small scale. The most important variety of the wine region is still the Ezerjó, grown on almost a third of the area.
Consequently, Mór wine is still widely equated with ‘Móri Ezerjó’, which came out of the fortuitous meeting of a good production area and an excellent variety. The variety is grown in several places in Hungary, but found a true home on the slopes of the Vértes.
