Madrid’s Region’s countryside, coated with vineyards and historical villages, that supplied wine for the capital since its very foundation (since its conquest by the Castilians from the Moors actually)

900 years of winemaking tradition at the fertile vegas region (riverbanks) where rivers Manzanares, Tajuña, Jarama, Henares, and Tajo meet. Or south of Guadarrama’s Sierra’s granite foothills.

Environmentally protected territories that where the exclusive wine suppliers of the thirsty and growing new capital of the sixteenth century Spanish Empire

These were the wines that were celebrated in the writings of Cervantes and all the Golden Century writers and painters, and from the Royal Palace to every tavern of the city. Now they are conquering palates of international critics and wine lovers alike.
