Hungarian 'Füred' Wines Get PDO Status
- 12 Nov 2025 5:18 AM
"Füred" wines from Balatonfüred and surrounding communities have been added as a Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) in the European Union's eAmbrosia database, the European Commission said on Tuesday.
"The Hungarian 'Füred' wines are characterised by a medium intensity and dry, fresh, crisp acidity. The PDO recognises the centuries-old experience passed down through generations of winegrowers in the area bordering Lake Balaton, which give rise to the wines' distinctive taste profiles," the EC said.
A number of Hungarian wines have PDO status, including ones from Badacsony, Eger, Tokaj and Villány.
