The advantage of Madrid wineries is that the distances are closer. Just 30 Kms away from Madrid you feel transported several hundred kilometres way ahead, and several decades, if not centuries, way back. Madrid's Region's countryside, coated with vineyards and historical towns, that supplied wine for the capital since its very foundation (since its conquest by the Castilians from the Moors actually).
