Link profile: D.O. Vinos de Madrid

Category: Start / Spain and its Regions / Madrid / Vinos de Madrid
Madrid has been a wine region since at least the 13th century, probably a lot longer, but the denominación de origen has only existed since 1990. That is partly because until relatively recently Madrid wine was not all that hot, but it is steadily emerging as a quality wine region producing reliable, orthodox brews. This orthodoxy means that the wine grapes grown and used are similar to those in more successful Spanish wine regions like Rioja or Ribera del Duero - Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha, Merlot and Syrah for red wine and Airén, Malvar, Albillo, Moscatel, Parellada, Torontés, and Viura/Macabeo for white. It also means that in the last twenty years, by hard work rather than inspiration, the quality of Madrid wine has improved beyond recognition. Vinos de Madrid is actually three different subzones, all to the south of the city of Madrid. From east to west, they are Arganda del Rey , Navalcarnero and San Martín de Valdeiglesias. The link above goes to the website of D.O. Vinos de Madrid's regulatory board which, at the time of writing, was entirely devoid of content, with only a notice on the home page saying "Back After the Harvest."
