Montsant DO

Montsant (Catalan pronunciation: [munˈsan]) is a Spanish Denominación de Origen Protegida (DOP) (Denominació d'Origen Protegida in Catalan) for wine located in the province of Tarragona (Catalonia, Spain) and covers 12 municipalities.

Under the auspices of the DOP Montsant, the region has seen rapid growth, starting with 28 official cellars in 2002 which grew to number 55 currently.

[2] Vineyards range from 200 to 700 meters in elevation and sit on three main soil types: chalky clay, granitic sand, and slate.

There is a large degree of variation from the small, relatively flat plain around Falset and Marçà to the higher elevation village of La Figuera that sits on a mountain range at 575 meters.

[2] DOP Montsant has the distinction of being the only region in Catalonia (and one of only a handful) in Spain where kosher wine is produced.
