APPLICATION FOR A NEW AMENDMENT TO THE PRODUCT SPECIFICATION ‘DEALURILE ZARANDULUI’ PGI-RO-A0031-AM01 Date of submission: 28.5.2015 1. Rules Applicable to the Amendment Article 105 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 — Non-minor amendment

2. Description and reasons for the amendment 2.1. Amendment to the demarcated area The area demarcated for the production of wines with the geographical indication ‘Dealurile Zarandului’, which stretches across Arad County, is to be extended to include the localities Zăbrani, Neudorf, Frumuşeni, Cruceni, Fiscut, Firiteaz, Hunedoara Timişană, Dud and Agrişu Mare. The configuration of the final geographical area for which protection of wines with the geographical indication is requested will therefore be as follows:

Arad County, Miniș-Măderat vineyard, with the following wine-growing centres:

Miniș, localities: — Lipova town (Lipova and Radna localities)

— Zăbrani (Zăbrani and Neudorf villages)

— Frumușeni (Frumușeni village)

— Păuliș (Păuliș and Barațca villages)

— Ghioroc (Miniș, Ghioroc and Cuvin villages)

— Covăsânț (Covăsânț village)

Măderat, localities: — Șiria (Șiria, Galșa and Mâsca villages)

— Pâncota town (Pâncota locality and Măderat village)

— Târnova (Târnova, Dud, Agrişu Mare and Drauţ villages)

— Ineu town (Ineu locality and Mocrea village)

— Șilindia (Șilindia, Satu Mic and Luguzău villages)

Dealul Viilor, localities: — Șagu (Șagu, Cruceni, Fiscut, Firiteaz and Hunedoara Timișană villages)

Dorobanți, localities: — Curtici (Dorobanți village)

The white wines obtained around Lipova, Zăbrani and Neudorf have the typical minerality and flavour of wines from the southern part of the Miniș-Măderat vineyard area. Due to the abundance of the harvests, they have rela tively high acidity, which is slightly lower at first contact, and well-shaped primary aromas. In contrast, the red wines maintain the special depth of colour characteristic of the entire Miniș-Măderat vineyard area: a purplish hint against a dark but brilliant ruby-red background. The wines are extractive. According to ONVPV statistics for 2012, 2013 and 2014, the dry extract content of white wines may reach levels of up to 19-20 g/l (Sauvignon), while for red wines it can go up to 27,55 g/l (Cabernet Sauvignon). Wines produced in the northern part of the region (Dud, Agrișu Mare, Luguzău) are finer and have a more pronounced acidity, due to the same marked extractivity: 19,44 g/l for white wines (Pinot gris and Sauvignon) and 27,63 g/l for red wines (Merlot). 21.6.2017 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 197/5

A description of the wines produced in the localities extending the area provides an explanation for their analytical and organoleptic specificities. A comparative analysis of wines produced from several varieties cultivated in both the old area and in the recently included localities over the last four harvest years shows that: the natural alcoholic strength of the Mustoasă de Măderat variety ranges from 11,76-12,30 % alcohol, total acidity 6,0 g/l tartaric acid, total dry extract 18,15-19,85 g /l; the natural alcoholic strength of the Riesling Italian variety ranges from 10,60-12,35 % alcohol, total acidity 5,20-6,30 g/l tartaric acid, total dry extract 17,20-21,10 g /l; the natural alco holic strength of the Merlot variety ranges from 12,50-13,00 % alcohol, total acidity 6,10-6,50 g /l tartaric acid, total dry extract 24,65-27,55 g/l; and the natural alcoholic strength of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety ranges from 12,20-12,60 % alcohol, total acidity 4,70-6,69 g/l tartaric acid, total dry extract 20,63-24,75 g /l. Significant simi larities in terms of freshness and fruitiness were found in white varieties cultivated in the Lipova, Radna, Zăbrani, Neudorf, Păuliş and Baraţca localities. Strikingly similar secondary flavours are observed in white varieties of wine from plantations in the Şagu, Cruceni, Fiscut, Firiteaz, Hunedoara Timişană and Frumuşeni localities. The brown chernozem soil yields wines which are extractive, full bodied and full of taste in the Şilindia, Satu Mic, Luguzău, Dud and Agrişu Mare localities. It is no coincidence that vines have been cultivated on these lands since ancient times.

A combination of a poor understanding of European policy on the protection of areas demarcated by a geographi cal indication and a lack of wine producers' associations at the time Romania joined the European Union resulted in some localities with ancient traditions of producing specific quality wines being omitted from the Dealurile Zarandului area.

8. Description of the link(s) Link with the demarcated area The specific natural factor is provided by the Zarand foothills, which are characterised by skeletal soils rich in iron and microelements. These recesses between hills provide a variety of topoclimatic conditions, specific to individual vineyards in this area, in conditions that are similar in terms of geoclimatic position and variety cultivated.

The vine plantations have a predominantly southern exposure, with some exceptional south-western and south- eastern exposures. As a result, different individual vineyards, located at the same latitude and longitude and culti vating the same variety of grape, are distinguished from one another by a variety of topoclimatic characteristics. The steep terraced slopes used for the cultivation of vines break up and limit the force of winds and cold air currents. During calm weather, the heating of the slopes ensures a gentle circulation of air, which is favourable to the plants' physiological processes and to bringing out the qualities of the grape berries. The slopes prevent stagna tion of excess water, aiding the heating of the soil and preventing grey mould colonisation.

The microclimate, with its Mediterranean influences, results in early, wet springs and long, warm, dry autumns. Ecoclimatic data: annual average temperature: 11,2 °C, total annual precipitation: 644 m m, total active tempera tures: 3 291 °C, total sunshine hours: 1 490, total active precipitation: 365 mm. The ten-year average for relative humidity is around 75 %. The wines obtained from skeletal, ferruginous soils have a b right red colour with deep ruby highlights and are very generous and expressive.

An organoleptic assessment of the wines produced on the Zarand foothills reveals a high colouring intensity in the red varieties, with strong bluish highlights in young wines that turn to brick-red as the wines mature. From an astringent tannic taste when young, the wine becomes balanced, firm, pleasant, full-bodied and velvety as it ages. 21.6.2017 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 197/11

A description of the wines produced in the localities extending the area provides an explanation for their analytical and organoleptic specificities. A comparative analysis of wines produced from several varieties cultivated in both the old area and in the recently included localities over the last four harvest years shows that: the natural alcoholic strength of the Mustoasă de Măderat variety ranges from 11,76-12,30 % alcohol, total acidity 6,0 g /l tartaric acid, total dry extract 18,15-19,85 g /l; the natural alcoholic strength of the Riesling Italian variety ranges from 10,60-12,35 % alcohol, total acidity 5,20-6,30 g/l tartaric acid, total dry extract 17,20-21,10 g/l; the natural alco holic strength of the Merlot variety ranges from 12,50-13,00 % alcohol, total acidity 6,10-6,50 g /l tartaric acid, total dry extract 24,65-27,55 g/l; and the natural alcoholic strength of the Cabernet Sauvignon variety ranges from 12,20-12,60 % alcohol, total acidity 4,70-6,69 g /l tartaric acid, total dry extract 20,63-24,75 g/l. Significant simi larities in terms of freshness and fruitiness were found in white varieties cultivated in the Lipova, Radna, Zăbrani, Neudorf, Păuliş and Baraţca localities. Strikingly similar secondary flavours are observed in white varieties of wine from plantations in the Şagu, Cruceni, Fiscut, Firiteaz, Hunedoara Timişană and Frumuşeni localities. The brown chernozem soil produces wines which are extractive, full bodied and full of taste in the Şilindia, Satu Mic, Luguzău, Dud and Agrişu Mare localities. It is no coincidence that vines have been cultivated on these lands since ancient times.

Amendment to the demarcated area The Association of Wine Producers of the traditional vineyards of Satu Mare has submitted an application to mod ify the specifications for the Dealurile Sătmarului GI, to extend the demarcated production area to include localities which have the specific characteristics of the Satu Mare area. These localities were incorrectly included in the demarcated area of the specifications for the Dealurile Crișanei GI, given that there is a series of arguments regard ing the location and the eco-pedoclimatic factors in those localities, which are specific to the area of the indication Dealurile Sătmarului and not Dealurile Crișanei. The above is supported by information regarding the wines from the wine-growing region of Dealurile Sătmarului, i.e. from Rătești, which have long been produced and known under the designation ‘Dealurile Răteștilor’ or ‘Vinul de Halmeu’.

The inclusion of the localities in question in the Satu Maru area and therefore within the indication Dealurile Sătmarului and not in Dealurile Crișanei, is supported by data regarding the relief and climate of hills such as Ardud-Beltiug-Hurez, Hododului, Tășnad-Săuca-Pir, Săcășeni-Supur, Tășnad-Cehal, which have steeper slopes with terraces mitigating their inclines, Pleistocene soils of red clays and north-facing slopes with gentler inclines covered with more podzolic soils. Mediterranean influences permit the development and production of wines with floral or fruity aromas (forest berries of Pinot noir, Merlot, Burgund mare), as well as peppery or grassy wines with pleasant primary notes (Fetească albă, Furmint). The flavours are typical of the variety: round, tannic, velvety and with mod erate astringency, full-bodied, fresh (white wines).

The localities which are being removed from the area of the geographical indication Dealurile Crişanei are located in the county of Satu Mare. They are:

— Valea lui Mihai

— Municipality of Carei, locality of Carei

— Pir (Pir village)

— Săuca (Săuca village)

— Cehal (Cehal, Cehăluț and Orbău villages)

— the town of Tășnad, with the locality of Tășnad

— Sanislău, in Satu Mare County, with the locality Sanislău (village of Sanislău)

— Rătești, with localities:

— Beltiug (Beltiug, Rătești and Șandra villages)

— Ardud (Ardud, Ardud Vii and Gerăușa villages)

— Viile Satu Mare (Viile Satu Mare and Tătărăști villages)

— Socond (Socond and Hodişa villages)

— Supur (Dobra, Hurezu Mare and Racova villages)

— Acâș (Unimăt village)

— Bogdand (Bogdand, Babța, Ser and Corund villages)

— Hodod (Hodod, Nadișu Hododului, Lelei, Giurtelecu Hododului villages)

The localities above are no longer in the demarcated area of the indication Dealurile Crişanei. C 197/14 EN Official Journal of the European Union 21.6.2017

By re-demarcating the geographical area of the geographical indication Dealurile Crişanei by removing from it the localities listed above located in the territory of Satu Mare County, the demarcated cultivation and production area in which the wines with the geographical indication will be obtained will comprise: Bihor County, localities: — Diosig (Diosig and Vaida villages) — Săcueni (Săcueni and Cadea villages) — Ciuhoi (Sâniob and Ciuhoi villages) — Biharia (Biharia village) — Cetariu (Şişterea and Paleu villages) — Tileagd (Tileagd village) — Valea lui Mihai. County of Sălaj, localities: — town of Șimleu Silvaniei, localities Șimleu Silvaniei and Cehei — Nuşfalău (Nuşfalău, Boghiş, Bozieş and Bilghez villages) — Vârşolţ (Vârşolţ village) — Ip (Ip, Zăuan, Zăuan Băi villages) — Camăr (Camăr village) — Pericei (Pericei, Sici and Bădăcin villages) — Carastelec (Carastelec and Dumuslău villages) — Crasna (Crasna village) — Măerişte (Măerişte, Doh and Uileacu Şimleului villages) — municipality of Zalău, locality Zalău — Meseşenii de Jos (Meseşenii de Jos and Aghireş villages) — Crişeni (Crişeni and Gârceiu) — Hereclean (Hereclean, Guruslău, Dioşod and Badon villages) — Dobrin (Dobrin and Doba villages) — Horoatu Crasnei (Horoatu Crasnei village) — Coşeiu (Coşeiu and Archid) — Şamşud (Şamşud and Valea Pomilor villages) — Bocşa (Bocşa and Borla villages) — Sărmăşag (Sărmăşag, Lompirt, Ilisua and Moiad villages) — Bobota (Bobota, Dersida and Zalnoc villages). The locality of Valea lui Mihai in the county of Satu Mare was mistakenly included in the geographical indication of Dealurile Crişanei in the technical file forwarded to the Commission in accordance with Article 118(s) of Regu lation (EC) No 1234/2007. The mistake of including the locality of Valea lui Mihai in the county of Satu Mare, in the area of the indication, is a result of the fact that in the past, according to the division/demarcation of wine-growing areas during the period of the Communist regime in Romania, when localities were organised by vineyards and wine-growing centres, there was a well-known vineyard called Valea lui Mihai which extended into the two counties, Satu Mare and Bihor. In accordance with Order of the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry No 397/2003 approving the Designa tion of wine-growing areas and the grouping of localities into wine-growing regions, vineyards and wine-growing centres (published in Official Gazette No 513 of 16y Jul 2003), in point V — Wine-growing Region of Crişanei and Maramureşului, position 28 places Valea lui Mihai in the county of Satu Mare outside of Bihor, on the basis of the old sectors mentioned above. 21.6.2017 EN Official Journal of the European Union C 197/15

8. Description of the link(s) Link with the demarcated area The specific natural feature of the environment is the Crișul Repede river area, bounded on the north by the Șes mountain, gentle hills close to the plain and the influence of the Central European climate, causing a certain reduc tion in temperatures and increased rainfall variability. Winters in this area are milder, and wine-growing areas enjoy a significant amount of sunshine while being sheltered from winds and cold currents.

In the wine-growing areas of Diosig and Valea lui Mihai, the area of Silvania and the wine-growing centres of Biharia and Tileagd there are vineyards distributed over a large area, to the north and north-east of the Oradea. The wine-growing centres of the wine areas (Diosig, Săcuieni and Sâniob) have a tradition dating back to 1569-1578. The white wines produced here are rich, with an expressive taste and a strong acidic and fruity character. The varieties with particular potential in this wine-growing area include Fetească albă, Fetească regală, Riesling Italian and the aromatic Muscat Ottonel. The wines of this area have a well-balanced structure. The oenoclimatic potential of the wine-growing region has a score of 4 287 on the hydro-helio-thermal index. This means that the region is particularly suitable for white wines, which have expressive aromas of acacia flowers, green apples and cut grass (Fetească regală), with a l ong finish (Tămâioasă românească), ripe pears, notes of vanilla when matured in oak barrels, with prominent exotic notes of pineapple (Chardonnay), balanced and with good acidity. Red wines are full-bodied, velvety, round, with aromas of cherries to ripe sour-cherries with ageing in the case of Pinot noir, peppery notes in the case of Syrah, and typical forest fruits — fresh raspberries in the case of Merlot.

Type of further condition: Additional provisions relating to labelling C 197/20 EN Official Journal of the European Union 21.6.2017
