‘Flevoland’
PGI-NL-A0380-AM06
Date of communication: 17.10.2023
DESCRIPTION OF AND REASONS FOR THE APPROVED AMENDMENT
Amendment to the list of wine grape varieties
This amendment changes the grape varieties authorised for Flevoland PGI as included in the product specification and the single document, and is an update as a result of practice.
Description and reasons
Description:
Seven varieties have been added to the list of varieties authorised for this PGI, namely:
|
Pinot Grigio |
|
Accent N |
|
Allegro N |
|
Bolero N |
|
Saphira N |
|
Divicio N |
|
Divona B |
Reasons: New varieties of grape are being developed and added to the OIV’s variety catalogue after a long development period and extensive authorisation procedures, when they are authorised. If these varieties are included in the OIV variety catalogue, they may also be eligible to be added to the list of authorised varieties for this PGI.
This amendment is a standard amendment because it does not concern the name of the PGI, the product category, the link or the marketing restrictions.

8. Description of the link(s)
8.1. Geographical area: description and climate
Flevoland consists mainly of Holocene marine clay on sand or peat.
This is also the case for the Noordoostpolder, but in places there is also peat or clay loam in the topsoil.
These polders were created in the 20th century after parts of the IJsselmeer were drained.
The climate is characterised by:
— |
an average rainfall of 850 mm/year |
— |
1 678 hours of sunshine (Lelystad)/year |
— |
an average temperature of 9,8 °C over the year as a whole, and 16,7 °C over the summer |
— |
a difference between the daytime and night-time temperatures in September of 8,4 °C |
8.2. Causal link
The climate makes it possible to achieve the indicated yields and maturity, producing a fresh, very fruity white wine with green notes, and red fruits in the case of the red wine.
9. Essential further conditions (packaging, labelling, other requirements)
Legal framework:
EU legislation
Type of further condition:
Derogation concerning production in the demarcated geographical area
Description of the condition:
Area in immediate proximity for production of the wine
As regards the production area for winemaking (vinification), all Dutch provinces are defined as being in immediate proximity.
Part or all of a base wine made in the area covered by the PGI or an area in immediate proximity may be bottled by a contractor as semi-sparkling or sparkling wine.
This may take place outside the PGI area or area in immediate proximity while retaining the PGI name. In that case, the bottler must also be indicated, possibly using a code number (Bottled by … for …).
