Denominación de origen is an appellation primarily for Spanish wines, but also other foodstuffs. It is closely modelled after the Italian DOC. As of 2006, 65 wine regions have DO status.
The DOCa label was introduced on 3 April, 1991. For many years Rioja was the only appelation to hold DOCa status, but Priorat was elevated on 2000.
