The DO Vinos de Madrid appellation, located in the Madrid region of Spain, represents a dynamic and diverse wine treasure. Officially recognised since 1990, this vineyard spans four distinct sub-zones: Arganda, Navalcarnero, San Martín, and the recent addition of El Molar, each bringing its unique characteristics to the appellation as a whole. The dry continental climate, marked by mountainous influences and significant temperature variations between day and night, allows for optimal grape ripening. The soils, primarily granitic but also clay and sandy, contribute to the complexity and diversity of the wines produced. Iconic grape varieties such as Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Albillo Real are often highlighted, producing powerful and elegant reds, as well as fresh and aromatic whites. Madrid's winemakers are committed to respecting traditions while innovating, offering wines that are sometimes modern, sometimes authentic, which captivate an increasingly captivated international audience. The Vinos de Madrid appellation is therefore essential for discovering Spanish wine heritage and enriching a wine cellar with wines imbued with Madrid's identity.
