The DO area for red wines, rosé wines and white wines in the Spanish region of Madrid forms a semicircle around the southern suburbs of Madrid and is divided into three subzones. San Martín de Valdeiglesias lies to the west of the city, Navalcarnero borders the Madrid metropolitan area to the south-west and Arganda lies to the south-east. The area borders on the two DO areas of Cebreros(Castile-León) and Méntrida(Castile-La Mancha). Together, these three DO areas form the Sierra de Gredos wine-growing region, which slopes northwards towards the Alberche Valley and southwards towards the Tiétar Valley.

In the past, you needed a wealth of encyclopaedias and specialist literature to keep up to date in your vinophile professional life. Today, Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one of my best helpers and can rightly be called the "bible of wine knowledge".
