Bodegas Cinco Leguas is the personal project of Marc Isart, a young Catalan winemaker based in Madrid, associated with unique and legendary projects such as Comando G or Bernabeleda.
Cinco Leguas is the evolution of La Maldición, with the aim of producing honest wines, “wines to give pleasure and quench thirst,” from forgotten vineyards in the midst of an austere landscape with its own identity.
The project is located in the Madrid town of Chinchón. It all begins in what was once a suit factory, which later became a sparkling wine cellar and subsequently an anise factory. The name of the winery (5 leguas) refers to the maximum distance where the vineyards of the wines of the Villa de Madrid could be located. This rule has been governed by royal decree for centuries for the town of Madrid.
Isart's personal endeavor stems from old forgotten vineyards of tinto fino, malvar, and torrontés from Madrid (Alarije) located in the municipalities of Belmonte de Tajo, Colmenar de Oreja, and Chinchón. These are dry-farmed, old vines that survive in a continental climate with an annual rainfall of 460 mm, characterized by dry, hot summers and cold, extreme winters.
A philosophy that seeks to preserve traditions, an identity, organic viticulture, and a minimally interventionist winemaking approach are the keys to this Madrid winery that produces honest wines that unmistakably reflect their terroir of origin.
