Priorat

About this region

Uma de apenas duas regiões em Espanha com a classificação máxima DOCa/DOQ, o Priorat ergue-se em encostas catalãs escarpadas de xisto escuro (llicorella). A Garnacha e a Cariñena de vinhas velhas dão tintos potentes, minerais e longevos, de estatuto de culto. Os rendimentos baixos e os socalcos exigentes fazem dela uma das denominações mais prestigiadas e caras do país.
