The best red wine is made with the Syrah variety in the Costers del Segre DO: it is the Tros del Tossal 2023, made by the Cérvoles winery, which has just won the Grand Gold award for Aged Red Wines, granted by the Vinari Awards, which were held in Vilafranca del Penedès. The best aged white wine is the Coca i Fitó d’Or 2024, from the Coca i Fitó winery, in the Terra Alta DO. Meanwhile, a sparkling wine made in Penedès twenty-one years ago, the Guilera Centenari 2005, from the Cava Guilera winery (Cava DO), has taken home the Grand Gold for long-aged white sparkling wines.

The winemaker Josefina Piñol, from the Piñol winery, in Batea (DO Terra Alta) has won the award for professional career in the world of wine. Upon receiving the award, the jury highlighted her pioneering work in the production of quality bottled wines, especially at a time when bulk sales were traditional. Finally, the Vallformosa winery, producer of cavas and wines within the DO Cava and the DO Penedès, has won the award for best winery. Its general director is Marta Vidal, who since last summer is also the president of the DO Cava. The awards highlighted the history of the winery, with more than one hundred and fifty years, and also that "it provides work for more than forty families of winegrowers", as they stated in the awards.
