Vinos de MadridMadrid as a province used to belong to Castilla-La Mancha when it was called New Castile, but now it is its own Comunidad Autónoma. People kind of look at you funny when they hear about the wines from D.O. Vinos de Madrid. They think you are joking, because as urban sprawl gobbles up more and more land, they can't imagine where and how this land would be suitable for viniculture. But contrary to popular opinion, this region has an old tradition in the practice and a number of very good (when not excellent and daring) wines on the market. And it's only getting better by the year, as new cutting-edge wineries set up shop. |
