General Information
Reds are the wines that attract the most interest in the D.O. Vinos de Madrid. From one of the most important wineries in the area, we bring you Tagonius Roble 2021, a red that’s a blend of four varieties – Tempranillo, merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah – and has been aged for 6 months in French and American oak barrels.
Bodegas Tagonius is located some 40 km southeast of Madrid, in the municipality of Tielmes, the largest of the three that make up the D.O. Vinos de Madrid. It’s an area with great potential, whose wines were drunk at the Royal Court back in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Tagonius is based on the bank of the river Tajuña, an affluent of the Tajo, an area with very minerally soil.
The firm owns 35 hectares of vineyards divided into plots on the fertile plain that produces very high-quality grapes. In 2000 Bodegas Tagonius built its modern facilities on the site of the nineteenth-century Justo del Pozo Olmeda winery.
The red Tagonius Roble 20210 (D.O. Vinos de Madrid) is particularly good with rice dishes such as meat risotto. It’s also perfect with meats like fillet of Ibérico port in a pepper sauce.

The winery
Bodegas Tagonius is one of the leading wineries of the new wave of Madrid wines, creating modern-style wines with the incorporation of foreign varieties. It is located about 40 km southeast of Madrid, in the Arganda subzone, the largest of the three that make up the D.O. Vinos de Madrid; a region with great potential, whose wines were already consumed in the Royal Court in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Specifically, Tagonius is situated on the banks of the Tajuña River (Tagonius in Latin), a tributary of the Tagus. Its vineyards stretch across various plots of highly mineral-rich soils in the river valley. In total, it manages 25 hectares of its own vineyards and an additional 50 hectares of controlled vineyards, where the tempranillo grape coexists with international varieties such as syrah, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon. It also cultivates the white varieties malvar and moscatel de grano menudo.
The grapes are processed in modern facilities built in the year 2000 on the same site as the old Justo del Pozo Olmeda winery, dating back to the 19th century. In its large barrel room, French and American oak from the best cooperages coexist.
