There are loads of great wines from this region. Priorat (Priorato in Spanish) is the hotshot of Catalonia and maybe of all of Spain. Here are some suggestions:

Penedes

Cavas Josep Masachs (sparkling)

Jaume Serra - Opera Prima white and Cabernet Sauvignon

Jean Leon - Chardonnay Reserva and Tinto Reserva

Juve y Camps Cava (sparking)

Gran Caus

The big gun here is of course Torres who still makes some good wines despite size:

Fransola (Sauvignon Blanc), Coronas and Gran Coronas Reserva are outstanding red wine values

Priorat - big powerhouse red wines:

Scala Dei

Clos Martinet

Fond de la Figuera

Clos Mogador

Cims de Porrera

Laurona (made just outside the Priorat DO - one of the great values in Spain)
