Priorat, from the Catalunya region over on the eastern coast, is one of the smartest red wine producing areas in Spain. Along with Rioja, it’s one of only two so-called DOC regions in the country (in other words, highly rated). It’s brilliant – but subtle, it is not. Full on with heady black fruits and lots of oak, it’s a blend of different grape varieties including Syrah, Garnacha (aka Grenache elsewhere) and Mazuela (also known as Carignan elsewhere). If you like Rioja, chances are you will love this. And it tastes waaaay more expensive than it is.
