Description of the modification:
In the summary of the definition/conditions of use the following sentence:
‘ Liqueur wine of the “Málaga” PDO aged between three to five years. ’
has been replaced by the following definition/conditions of use:
‘ The term “añejo” may be used for wines bearing the terms “vino generoso” and “vino generoso de licor”, as well as for liqueur wines of the Protected Designation of Origin “Málaga”, aged in oak barrels for an average of at least three years before release for consumption. ’
Explanation of the grounds for the modification:
For the purposes of clarity, transparency and legal certainty, certain traditional terms for wines of protected designations of origin of Andalusia have been subject to regulation under the Order of the Regional Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Rural Development of 22 February 2023, published in Andalusian Official Gazette (BOJA) No 42 of 3 March 2023. The Order is the appropriate legal instrument for approving the traditional terms and for their subsequent amendment in the EU register.
In order to ensure the legal transition from the current legislative framework of the traditional term ‘Añejo’, the definition has been established and published. The definition describes the characteristic and shared features of the protected designations of origin using the traditional term. In this way, it allows for fair competition between producers while also giving clear information to consumers.
