Grape varieties

Grape varieties

Garnatxa and Carinyena dominate both appellations. The proportions are approximate: the DOQ Priorat figures are share of planted vineyard area (2018), while the DO Montsant figures are share of grape production, so the two are not directly comparable.

DOQ Priorat

  • Garnatxa negra (Grenache) 41%
  • Carinyena negra (Carignan) 23%
  • Other varieties 36%

DO Montsant

  • Garnatxa (Grenache) 36%
  • Carinyena (Carignan) 24%
  • Other varieties 40%

Sources and notes

Sources and notes

Figures verified against the regulatory councils (doqpriorat.org), INCAVI (the Catalan Wine and Vine Institute) and the Wikipedia infoboxes drawn from INCAVI data, with the reference year noted for each. They are approximate, rounded values that shift year to year with the harvest: the DOQ Priorat vineyard area and grape varieties are from 2018 and the winery count from the current official directory, while the rest of the DOQ Priorat data and all of the DO Montsant data are mostly from 2015. The municipality counts reflect the full municipalities mapped on this site (9 for the DOQ Priorat, 15 for the DO Montsant); the councils also count a few more that have only part of their territory in each appellation (such as Falset and el Molar, which sit in both). For official, up-to-date figures, consult the regulatory councils directly.
