ANNEX IIIU.K. AUTHORISED OENOLOGICAL PRACTICES AND RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO LIQUEUR WINES AND LIQUEUR WINES BEARING A PROTECTED DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN OR PROTECTED GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATION

A. Liqueur wines U.K.

1.The products referred to in point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and used for preparing liqueur wines and liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication may only have undergone, where appropriate, the oenological practices and processes referred to in either Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 or this Regulation.U.K.

2.However,U.K.

(a)

the increase in natural alcoholic strength by volume may only arise from the use of the products referred to in points (3)(e) and (f) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013; and

(b)

by derogation, Spain is authorised to permit the use of calcium sulphate for Spanish wines described by the traditional terms ‘vino generoso’ or ‘vino generoso de licor’ where this practice is traditional and provided that the sulphate content of the product so treated is not more than 2,5 g/l, expressed as potassium sulphate. These products may undergo additional acidification up to a maximum limit of 1,5 g/l.

3.Without prejudice to any provisions of a more restrictive nature which the Member States may adopt for liqueur wines and liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication prepared within their territory, the oenological practices referred to in Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and in this Regulation shall be authorised for those products.U.K.

4.The following are also authorised:U.K.

(a)

sweetening, subject to a declaration and registration requirement, where the products used have not been enriched with concentrated grape must, by means of:

  • concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must, provided that the increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the wine in question is not more than 3 % vol.,

  • concentrated grape must, rectified concentrated grape must or must from raisined grapes to which neutral alcohol of vine origin has been added to prevent fermentation, for Spanish wine described by the traditional expression ‘vino generoso de licor’ and provided that the increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the wine in question is not greater than 8 % vol.,

  • concentrated grape must or rectified concentrated grape must for liqueur wines bearing the protected designation of origin ‘Madeira’ and provided that the increase in the total alcoholic strength by volume of the wine in question is not more than 8 % vol.;

(b)

the addition of alcohol, distillate or spirits, as referred to in points (3)(e) and (f) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, in order to compensate for losses due to evaporation during ageing;

(c)

ageing in vessels at a temperature not exceeding 50 oC, for liqueur wines bearing the protected designation of origin ‘Madeira’.

5.The vine varieties from which the products referred to in point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 used for the preparation of liqueur wines and liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication are produced shall be selected from those referred to in Article 81(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.U.K.

6.The natural alcoholic strength by volume of the products referred to in point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 used for the preparation of a liqueur wine other than a liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin or a protected geographical indication may not be less 12 % vol.U.K.

B. Liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin (provisions other than those laid down in Section A of this Annex and concerning specifically liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin) U.K.

1.The list of liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin the production of which involves the use of grape must or the mixture of grape must with wine, referred to in the fourth indent of point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, is set out in Section A of Appendix 1 to this Annex.U.K.

2.The list of liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin to which the products referred to in point (3)(f) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 may be added is given in Section B of Appendix 1 to this Annex.U.K.

3.The products referred to in point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and concentrated grape must and partially fermented grape must obtained from raisined grapes referred to in point (3)(f)(iii) of that Part II of Annex VII used for the preparation of liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin must come from the region whose name the liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin in question bears.U.K.

However, as concerns liqueur wines bearing the protected designation of origin ‘Málaga’ and ‘Jerez-Xérès-Sherry’, the must of raisined grapes to which neutral alcohol of vine origin has been added to prevent fermentation, obtained from the Pedro Ximénez vine variety, may come from the ‘Montilla-Moriles’ region.

4.The operations referred to in points 1 to 4 of Section A of this Annex for the preparation of a liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin may be performed only within the region referred to in point 3.U.K.

However, as regards the liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin for which the designation ‘Porto’ is reserved for the product prepared from grapes obtained from the region delimited as the ‘Douro’, the additional manufacturing and ageing processes may take place either in the aforementioned region or in Vila Nova de Gaia — Porto.

5.Without prejudice to any provisions of a more restrictive nature which the Member States may adopt for liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin prepared within their territory:U.K.

(a)

the natural alcoholic strength by volume of the products referred to in point (3)(c) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 used for the preparation of a liqueur wine bearing a protected designation of origin may not be less than 12 % vol. However, some liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin on one of the lists given in Section A of Appendix 2 to this Annex may be obtained from:

(i)

grape must with a natural alcoholic strength by volume of not less than 10 % vol. in the case of liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin obtained by the addition of spirit obtained from wine or grape marc with a designation of origin, possibly from the same holding; or

(ii)

partially fermented grape must or, in the case of the second indent below, from wine with an initial natural alcoholic strength by volume of not less than:

  • 11 % vol. in the case of liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin obtained by the addition of neutral alcohol, or of a distillate of wine with an actual alcoholic strength by volume of not less than 70 % vol., or of spirit of vinous origin,

  • 10,5 % vol. for wines prepared from white grape must referred to in list 3 given in Section A of Appendix 2,

  • 9 % vol. in the case of a Portuguese liqueur wine bearing the protected designation of origin ‘Madeira’, the production of which is traditional and customary in accordance with the national legislation, which makes express provision for such a wine;

(b)

the list of liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin having, notwithstanding point (3)(b) of Part II of Annex VII to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, a total alcoholic strength by volume of less than 17,5 % vol. but not less than 15 % vol., where national legislation applicable thereto before 1 January 1985 expressly so provides, is given in Section B of Appendix 2.

6.The specific, traditional terms ‘οίνος γλυκύς φυσικός’, ‘vino dulce natural’, ‘vino dolce naturale’ and ‘vinho doce natural’ shall be used only for liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin:U.K.

7.Insofar as is necessary to conform to traditional production practices, Member States may, for liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin produced within their territory, stipulate that the specific traditional name ‘vin doux naturel’ is used only for liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin which are:U.K.

8.In the case of liqueur wines, the specific traditional name ‘vino generoso’ shall be used only for dry liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin developed totally or partly under flor and:U.K.

Development under flor as referred to in the first subparagraph means the biological process which, occurring when a film of typical yeasts develops spontaneously at the free surface of the wine after total alcoholic fermentation of the must, gives the product specific analytic and organoleptic characteristics.

9.The specific traditional name ‘vinho generoso’ shall be used only for liqueur wines with the protected designations of origin ‘Porto’, ‘Madeira’, ‘Moscatel de Setubal’ and ‘Carcavelos’ in association with the respective designation of origin.U.K.

10.The specific traditional name ‘vino generoso de licor’ shall be used only for liqueur wines bearing a protected designation of origin:U.K.
