Valleyglesias A2 2025 is a white wine made from albillo real vines, a native grape variety of the D.O. Vinos de Madrid. At an altitude of 730-780 meters, in the vineyards of Bodega ValdeYglesias in El Andrinoso (San Martín de Valdeiglesias, Sierra de Gredos), the grapes that give rise to this wine find the ideal conditions to express their full purity and typicity. The result is a glyceric white wine with great aromatic intensity, velvety on the palate, with honeyed notes and a long finish.
The Albillo Real grape has been used for centuries to produce great white wines from Madrid, such as this Valleyglesias A2 2025. Originating from vineyards located in the southern area of San Martín de Valdeiglesias (Sierra de Gredos), with a northwest orientation and eroded granite soils, its production involved the selection of fruits from two plots: Canto del Corzo, with stony soil, at 730 meters above sea level; and Los Marañones, situated on sandy soils, at 780 meters.
Bodegas Valleyglesias is a family venture by brothers Fernando and Luis Ocaña that combines wine, gastronomy, and music in San Martín de Valdeiglesias (Madrid). The winery has 11 hectares of vineyards, mostly old and low-yielding, of the varieties Garnacha, Albillo Real, and Moscatel de grano menudo. These vines are cultivated on granite and sandy soils and are located at an altitude between 600 and 1200 meters above sea level, in the heart of the Sierra de Gredos. With a philosophy based on fieldwork, respect for nature, and minimal intervention winemaking, the Madrid-based winery produces unique wines that reflect the essence of their terroir.
The winemaking process of Valleyglesias A2 2025 is characterized by a cold pre-fermentation maceration for 24 hours before pressing. After resting for 24 hours and fermenting with native yeasts, the wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for 5 months with weekly bâtonnage of the lees. The result is a white wine with a clean nose, floral and honeyed notes, and a velvety palate with a long finish. An expressive wine under the D.O. Vinos de Madrid designation, it boasts a very limited production.

Bodegas Valleyglesias is much more than a winery; it is the project of brothers Fernando and Luis Ocaña, with the active involvement of their father Fernando in the viticultural aspect, combining wine, gastronomy, and music in San Martín de Valdeiglesias (Madrid).
Affiliated with the D.O. Vinos de Madrid in 2002, the same year it launched its first creations on the local market, the winery boasts a great family winemaking tradition and a heritage of 11 hectares of vineyards of garnacha, albillo real, and moscatel de grano menudo. The vines, mostly old and low-yielding, are planted in granitic and sandy soils, at an altitude ranging between 600 and 1,200 meters above sea level, in the Sierra de Gredos. Work in the vineyard, guided by respect for the environment, and a minimally interventionist winemaking process result in unique wines that aim to reflect the essence of the native varieties that define them and their terroir of origin.
