VINOS DE MADRID (Comunidad de Madrid) (VM)
The Spanish capital Madrid is much less known as
the name of a wine denomination. The DO Vinos de
Madrid forms a semicircle around the southern
suburbs. Of the three official recognized sub zones,
the most important is around the town of Arganda
del Rey, east of Madrid and Gredos with very old
garnachas. The history of what we could call the new Madrid wine begins in 1984, with the
recognition of the Specific Designation of Wines of Madrid. Later, in March 1986, the Ministry
of Agriculture approved the Specific Wines of Madrid Denomination and in November 1990
the Wines of Madrid Denomination of Origin was officially recognized.

The mediocre wines for the tourist trade has been replaced by much more interesting
products as young wines from Negramoll and the indigenaous grape listan negro and

soil is volcanic.
