Malaga is a land of great wines, wines with a different flavour and aroma that have placed them among the elite of the Spanish and international wine scene.
The wines of Malaga are included in two Denominations of Origin: D.O. Malaga and D.O. Sierras de Malaga, in which white, red, sweet and rosé wines are produced.
Different grape varieties are used for the elaboration of Malaga wines, which make them different from any other you have tasted, and that is why they are having a greater relevance: Pedro Ximenez, Moscatel de Alejandría, Chardonnay, Macabeo, Sauvignon Blanc, Romé, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir…
Spain is one of the great international wine producers, and every year they are among the most highly valued in the world. At a national level, there are different prizes and awards to value the best wines, such as the Akatavino awards or the Gourmet Wine Guide.
Here is a list of the best wines of Malaga: whites, reds and sweet wines, many of them awarded with national and international recognition:
