Vinos de Madrid
Designation of origin of the Community of Madrid, with reds from Tempranillo and Garnacha and whites from Malvar, Albillo Real and Airén, approachable in style and good value.
Vinos de Madrid is the designation of origin covering the vineyards of the Community of Madrid, spread across subzones such as Arganda, Navalcarnero and San Martín de Valdeiglesias. The climate is continental, with hot summers and cold winters, and soils range from the clays and marls of the south-east to the granite of the west, in the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos. The main grapes are Tempranillo and Garnacha for reds and Airén, Malvar and Albillo Real for whites. It mainly produces young and oak-aged reds, fresh whites and, in the Gredos area, finer-styled Garnachas.

What it signals on a wine list
Wine-list perception
On the wine list, Vinos de Madrid signals a local, close-to-home product, something city diners tend to appreciate. It is worth stating the grape and, where known, the subzone, because a Garnacha from San Martín de Valdeiglesias and a Tempranillo from Arganda offer different profiles.
When to highlight it
It fits especially well in Madrid restaurants and on lists that want to give weight to local wines. It also works well as a good-value by-the-glass option against better-known appellations.
Guest profile
Madrid diners who want to drink wine from their own region and visitors looking for something local. It also appeals to enthusiasts who follow Gredos Garnacha.
Best sales angle
Sell it as "the wine of Madrid", explaining the grape and the area in one sentence. With Gredos Garnacha, the sommelier's recommendation usually works better than the label.
