About Tarragona DO

Where it grows

In the Camp de Tarragona and parts of Ribera d’Ebre, in southern Catalonia.

Tarragona DO has two main geographical settings rather than one continuous coastal strip. The Camp de Tarragona brings Mediterranean-facing vineyards, while Ribera d’Ebre adds a different inland river influence. Macabeu offers a particularly useful introduction, from fresh whites to wines with more texture and ageing. The denomination also includes other colours and wine categories. A bottle’s grape, village and named style help distinguish a dry table wine from the area’s separate sweet or fortified traditions.
