- Tierra Calma

Place & Landscape

Tierra Calma is located in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, at the foothills of the Sierra de Gredos, within the D.O. Vinos de Madrid. The vineyards sit in a landscape of granite and slate soils, open exposure, and natural scenery that expresses both altitude influence and continental climate characteristics of this subzone.

The estate vineyard area extends across older parcels selected for orientation, slope, and soil composition, contributing to wines of freshness and site identity.

Tierra Calma is a small, family-oriented winery that places vineyard identity and ecological respect at the center of its project. Their philosophy emphasizes care for the land and for old vines, with a focus on balanced, terroir-driven wines made from ecologically farmed grapes.

Their approach to viticulture and winemaking highlights:

These varieties are highlighted in both vineyard tours and tasting formats as emblematic of the Sierra Norte subzone.
