Still to check (3)
- Boundary not captured yet (PGIs are not in the Eurac boundary data).
- From the specification: The register's specification for Lemesos is Cyprus Decree 704/2004 (K.D.P. 704/2004), the generic national order for all table wines with a geographical indication, not a document specific to this PGI; the same file serves Pafos, Lemesos, Larnaka and Lefkosia. The text is a damaged scan: the minimum natural alcohol for red wine and all figures of the Annex I maximum-yield table (hl/ha, by variety: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Maratheftiko, Riesling, Sauvignon, Shiraz and all other varieties) are missing, so only the 10.0 % vol natural minimum for white and rosé is recorded. Grapes must come entirely from varieties recommended or permitted for the administrative district (no list in the text), from registered vineyards at least 4 years old.
