Catalonia

**Catalonia** — a region in northeastern Spain centred on Barcelona, stretching from the Mediterranean coast into the mountainous interior. It is one of Spain's most dynamic and varied wine areas. **Wines & grapes** — It is the home of Cava, Spain's traditional-method sparkling wine, largely made in Penedès from Macabeo, Xarel·lo and Parellada. Priorat and neighbouring Montsant produce concentrated reds from old-vine Garnacha (Grenache) and Cariñena (Carignan), while Penedès also makes a wide range of still whites and reds, including international varieties. **Character** — Styles span from crisp, fresh sparkling and coastal whites to dense, mineral, powerful reds from the steep slate terraces (llicorella) of Priorat. **Good to know** — Priorat is one of only two Spanish regions to hold the top DOCa/DOQ status, the same tier as Rioja.
