Currently, the region has the coveted "Denominación de Origen Calificada" designation shared only with Rioja in Spain. The Priorat DOCa is a small mountainous region located in the province of Tarragona. The Montsant mountain range delimits it to the north, the La Figuera range to the west, the Molló range to the east, and the Siurana river to the south. The Siurana river and its tributaries are the main geographical artery of the area, creating a series of valleys and small plains thanks to the geological sinuosity of the mountains and slopes. The Priorat DOCa has a surface area of 17,629 hectares, of which 2,163.97 are planted with vines and cultivated by 513 viticulturists. Administratively, 9 municipalities belong to the DOCa Priorat. Additionally, the northern part of Falset and the eastern part of El Molar are within the limits of the DOQ Priorat. The Priorat region gained worldwide renown thanks to the cultivation of vines and the quality of its wines promoted, driven, and dominated by the Carthusian monks, making it one of the most important wine regions in the world today.
