About Madrid

Madrid wines lead beyond Spain’s capital into a landscape of hills, villages and vineyards. Vinos de Madrid DO has four subzones: Arganda, Navalcarnero, San Martín de Valdeiglesias and El Molar. Garnacha is an inviting red-wine discovery, especially towards the western mountains, while Tempranillo adds another familiar route. For whites, seek out local Malvar and Albillo Real. Different elevations, exposures and winemaking choices create wines ranging from fresh and fragrant to fuller, barrel-aged expressions. Look for the complete denomination and vineyard origin: a Madrid winery address alone does not explain where its grapes were grown.
