Rules worth knowing
Confirmed in the EU register
Villány is registered as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), file number PDO-HU-A1381, protected at EU level since 2006.
Article 107 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013
Only the rules that change what to expect in the glass or on the label. WineHQ does not reproduce production specifications, and each entry carries the date it was last checked because appellation rules change.
The designation is confirmed above. WineHQ has not read this appellation’s production specification, so it publishes no yields, ageing minima or permitted-variety lists for it — those come from the document linked above, not from a summary of it.
