I've rated this article as Top importance, as El Priorat, along with Rioja, is one of the only two existing Spanish DOCs (or DOQ in Catalan). (There are about 66 'normal' DO's in Spain). --BodegasAmbite 11:33, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

I've moved it down to High. Top is a really exclusive category - even quite major countries such as Argentine wine and Portuguese wine aren't Top articles. Also, you can't just decide something is a Top importance - it has to be voted there (on the Wine Project homepage) by 5 members of the project. To be honest there's a good case for moving it to Mid, if you look at the notability of some of the other regions with Mid ratings, there's no shame in being a Mid. Despite the distinction of being a DOQ, I'd guess that most ordinary Wikipedians won't have heard of it nor will see it in their local shops, which counts for quite a lot when assessing notability.

OK. I wasn't too sure how to classify it really! I guess I should check out different articles to get an idea of the differences! --BodegasAmbite 11:22, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
