Vinos de Madrid DO

In summer of 1990 the wine region of Madrid, located to the southeast and southwest of the city, got the DO status. Since then, great efforts have been done to raise quality and knowledge of the wines produced here.

Vineyards are located in 54 municipalities, plus the experimental state of El Encín in Alcalá de Henares. The DO is divided in three subzones: Arganda, Navalcarnero and San Martín, where styles may vary from one to another. In the last years both wineries and the Regulating Council have been doing promotional campeigns to extend the image of Vinos de Madrid in the national and, especially, in the international market.
