The Priorat region is a mountainous area (200-800 meters altitude) with spectacular views and around 2,000 hectares of vineyards, producing 6.5 million kilograms of grapes (almost 93% red grapes) per year.
The area is characterised by its unique soil of black slate and quartz known as llicorella, producing intense and concentrated red wines. It is one of only two wine regions in Spain to qualify as DOCa (Denominación de Origen Calificada), the highest qualification level for a wine region according to Spanish wine regulations, alongside La Rioja.
