Its grapes, once harvested by hand and in the cellar, were destemmed and vatted in stainless steel vats, where they remained for about 3 days, resting in the cold. From then on, the yeasts were added and fermentation began, with daily pigeages and temperature control. After a light pressing, the wine went into barrels. The final blend was made after a series of sensory tastings of the three varieties. The final wine remained for 5 weeks in a large wooden vat to achieve a perfect blend. BREEDING Aged for 9 months in French oak barrels. D.O.Ca. Priorat: sign of prestige and recognition Currently, the region has the coveted "Qualified Designation of Origin" designation that in Spain is only shared with Rioja. The Priorat Qualified Designation of Origin is a small mountainous region located in the province of Tarragona. The Sierra de Montsant massif delimits it to the north, to the west is the Sierra de La Figuera, to the east is the Sierra de Molló and, to the south, the territory opens up following the course of the Siurana river downstream towards the Ebro The Siurana river and its tributaries are the main geographical artery of the area, and cause a series of valleys and small plains thanks also to the geological sinuosity of the mountains and mountain slopes. In accordance with the legislation of Catalonia regarding the regional administrative division, the territory of the DOCa Priorat falls within a more extensive administrative delimitation known as the "Comarca del Priorat", which also has a part of territory that is not part of the wine-growing Priorat . The Priorat Qualified Designation of Origin has an area of 17,629 hectares, of which 2,163.97 are planted with vines and cultivated by 513 winegrowers. Administratively, 9 municipalities are part of the DOCa Priorat: Bellmunt del Priorat, Gratallops, El Lloar, El Molar, La Morera de Montsant (which includes the town of Scala Dei), Poboleda, Porrera, Torroja del Priorat, La Vilella Alta and La Vilella Baixa. In addition, within the limits of the DOQ Priorat there is also the northern part of the municipality of Falset (the Masos de Falset area) and the eastern part of the municipality of El Molar (Les Solanes del Molar). La Morera de Montsant, Scala Dei, Gratallops, Torroja del Priorat, Porrera and Poboleda formerly made up the Priorat de la Cartuja de Scala Dei. The rest were included in the delimitation of the appellation of origin that was carried out in 1932 and that makes up the current territory of the DOCa Priorat. As a consequence of the expansion of the cultivation of the vine and the quality of its wines, promoted, encouraged and dominated by the Carthusian monks, the area acquired worldwide renown that makes it today one of the most important wine-producing areas in the world.
