GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE WINES

WHITES 
They respond to different typologies according to their subzone and variety. In Arganda the most characteristic are those made with malvar. Fruity and pleasant, they sometimes present wild notes; in the mouth they are fresh, tasty and smooth. Traditional "sobremadre" wines are also made (they follow a three-month vatting process with the skins) and, in line with the most modern trends, barrel-fermented whites. In San Martín de Valdeiglesias the albillo whites stand out for their multifaceted aromas, where herbal nuances appear together with floral hints, and all this on a mineral background offered by the characteristic soil of the area.
 
ROSÉS 
Mostly made from Grenache, they have a pinkish color; in nose they are fresh, powerful and fruity; in mouth they have the typical tastiness of this variety.
 
RED WINE 
On one hand are those made from tinto fino, mainly from Arganda. Most of them are young, fresh and fruity wines in line with those from La Mancha. In Navalcarnero, the variety used is garnacha, as in San Martín. In the latter area, the balsamic and fresh notes of garnacha predominate, they show important notes of terroir and are especially mineral, fleshy and tasty.
