More information on of Madrid flavors
Vinos de Madrid is the DO (Denominación de Origen) title that covers the vineyards around Madrid, the capital of Spain. Located in the heart of the country, Madrid is the second largest city in the European Union. It offers its millions of visitors elaborate architecture, art galleries, a vibrant nightlife and a multitude of fine restaurants that often feature local wines. The sprawling metropolis and the towering Sierra de Guadarrama mountains to the North confine the vineyards to the southeast and southwest corners of the autonomous community of Madrid.
The Vinos de Madrid appellation covers three delimited wine-growing sub-regions, each with its own Particular characteristics. It was granted the coveted DO status in 1990 and a Consejo Regulador (wine authority) was created. Although the region has undoubtedly gained in popularity in recent decades (thanks in part to the efforts of local producers and the popularity of the local Garnacha), this was not the case before. Nevertheless, wine making in this region dates back to at least the 8th century and may well have been introduced by the Romans, or even the Carthaginians before them.

Walls: Counoise spreads its wings
It’s easy to forget that the southern Rhône’s four most prevalent red varieties aren’t indigenous.

Plantings have dwindled in recent years, but today local varieties are experiencing renewed interest. One that’s finding a lot of fans – both in the Rhône and further afield – is Counoise.
