When you perform a vertical tasting of the Ariyanas wines from Bodegas Bentomiz you are finding the identity of Málaga’s Axarquía. There’s slate and saline nuances influencing the ancestral vines, that are deeply identified with this, one of the most emblematic regions of Spanish viticulture. Cristina de la Calle, sommelier, 04.2020

While Malaga is often seen as a beach holiday destination, the truth is that Malaga is a paradise for wine lovers. Whether you love sweet or sparkling wine, you can taste all sorts of wine in Malaga.

5 Incredible Malaga winery tours (with food included)

My pick is this Evening Wine and Tapas Tour because you try 5 different varieties of wine and 8 delicacies, and you get a copy of the Malaga Dining guide, so you can visit the best restaurants in the city!

Barrels of wine in a winery in Malaga city centre

On this evening tour, you’ll enjoy tasting delicious food and regional wines while experiencing the nightlife in Malaga city centre.

This tour will take you to four different bars, each offering a variety of delicious tapas and wines. What I love the most about this tour is the fact that it has a maximum group size of just 12 people, so you can have a more personalised experience.

In addition to this, the knowledgeable guide will tell you many interesting facts about the history and culture of Malaga’s dining scene, and to top it all off, you’ll receive a copy of the Malaga Dining Guide so you can check out other restaurants and bars during your trip to Malaga.

2. Traditional Tapas and Wine Tour

If you’re looking for a good tapas and wine tour in Malaga city centre, this tour ticks all the boxes.

This tour takes you to the best taverns and wine cellars in the city, including Bodega El Pimpi, the second oldest Malaga winery, which also offers incredible traditional dishes like pescaito frito (fried fish).

Through this 2.5-hour tour, you’ll get to try 5 or 6 varieties of homemade tapas and 3 glasses of wine, beer, or vermouth. And, if you’re a vegetarian or pescatarian or don’t eat pork, don’t worry because plenty of alternative tapas are available.

One of the best things about the tour is that you get a list of all the recipes so you can recreate your favourite tapas at home.

The wine-tasting tour takes place in Bodega Doña Felisa . This Malaga winery is one of the best places to learn about the winemakers’ passion for their vines and the entire production process. You’ll taste 3 different types of wine and local tapas.

This is a great tour to immerse yourself in the wine production culture; the only downside is that there aren’t pick-up and drop-off options, so you need to make your way to the winery.

La Ruta de la Pasa (Muscat Raisin Route) is the best place to learn about raisin production. This is a 62 km route that passes through the La Axarquia region, where you’ll find whitewashed towns like Comares and El Borge with a significant Moorish influence.

This tour doesn’t involve wine tasting, but it’s a great alternative if you want to taste the best muscat raisins in Spain.

Types of wines in Malaga

a selection of wines in a winery

Before you go on any Malaga wine tour, it’s important to have a bit of knowledge about the wines you’re going to taste.

There are two different denominations of origin (DO): D.O. Malaga and D.O. Sierra de Malaga; both can be tried in wineries near Malaga.

If you wonder what the difference is, I’ll explain it below.

D.O. Malaga

This classification includes the most well-known wines in Malaga: the sweet wines, which are served across restaurants in the city and traditional events like Feria de Malaga (Malaga’s Fair). These are wines that go perfectly with cheese, chocolate and even fruits.

Some of the most famous wines are:

Pedro Ximénez

a bottle of Malaga sweet wine

If you love wine, you’ve probably heard of Pedro Ximénez. This is a dark and sweet wine made from the Pedro Ximenez grape that grows in Malaga as well as other parts of Spain, like Cordoba.

This type of wine can be served with any savoury or sweet dishes.

Moscatel wine is the best Malaga wine. It’s made from the Muscat grape. It’s a sweet, aromatic wine with a golden colour.

Moscatel wines are often made in a late-harvest style which means that the grapes are left on the vine longer than other wines to increase their sugar content. This results in a sweeter and more intense flavour.

This wine is typically served with dessert or as an after-dinner drink.

Pajarete wine is probably the most unique wine in Malaga. It’s often referred to as a liqueur wine, and it’s a wine that needs to be aged for at least 2 years. In addition to this, wine producers can’t add extra syrup to the wine, and they need to wait until it has a golden to dark amber colour.

This wine is ideal to accompany cured cheese, bread entrees and rice dishes.

D.O. Sierra de Malaga

a glass of white wine and grilled sardines

This classification includes lesser-known wines, but they certainly don’t lack flavour. This group has white, red, and rose wines that are worth trying.

Some of these wines are:

This wine is produced in Lunares Winery in Ronda. It’s made of two types of grapes: Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. It has a golden colour and a juicy flavour.

This is a wine made of grenache grapes in Bodegas Doña Felisa in Ronda. Cloé Rosé is the only Malaga winery that produces this type of rose wine.

Tips for visiting wineries in Malaga

wine tasting in andalucia

  • Apply sun cream , especially in the summer months when it’s hot in Malaga. You can quickly get sunburn.
  • Take water with you . Some tours provide water bottles, but it’s better to take your reusable bottle to avoid using unnecessary plastic.
  • Wear comfortable shoes . You might walk on the vineyards, take the stairs, and walk on cobblestone streets if the tour includes visiting a town like Ronda.
  • Do a little bit of research on the winery . This way, you can focus more on tasting wines.
  • Dress appropriately . You don’t need to dress smart to go on a wine tour. You don’t really want to wear clothes that might get dirty either. The key is to dress casually and comfortably.
  • Eat something before you go . Whether you aren’t used to drinking alcohol or not, drinking on an empty stomach isn’t a good idea. Make sure to have something filling for breakfast.
  • Aren’t sure if you should spit or swallow? The answer is it’s up to you! Spitting out the wine is acceptable, and some people find it helpful in avoiding getting too drunk. But if you’re enjoying the wine, there’s no shame in swallowing.
  • Ask questions . If you’re crazy about wine and love learning about either the types of wine or the production, don’t be afraid to ask questions about these things or anything else you’re curious about.
  • Take your time to taste the wine . Tasting wine is supposed to be enjoyable, so take your time and savour each sip.

Frequently asked questions about Malaga wine

What is the most popular wine in malaga.

The most popular wine is Moscatel wine, a wine made from Muscat grapes. It’s a sweet, aromatic wine with a golden colour which you can find across bars and restaurants in the province of Malaga.

Cartojal wine is the wine that most locals drink in Malaga Feria. It’s a sweet white wine made from the Moscatel de Alejandria grape, a grape native to Malaga which is grown in the Axarquia region.

What’s the best time to do a wine tasting in Malaga?

The best times to do a Malaga wine tasting are September and October.

Conclusion on Malaga winery tours

There are many reasons to visit a winery during your holiday in Malaga or Costa del Sol. The province is home to some of the finest wines in Spain, and going to a Malaga winery is a great way to learn about the wine-making process. Plus, you’ll get to sample some delicious wines!

Tips for Booking Vineyard Tours from Malaga

As you can see from the selection above, the best places for wine lovers that involve authentic vineyard settings are pretty limited. 

Most visitors of Malaga are interested in booking a tapas tour or Malaga wine tour, which are both easily accessible from the city.

In case of vineyard tours, you have the option to book an organised tour from the options above, or find a local winery yourself and drive there.

Visiting a local winery will allow you not only to get familiar with the different varieties of the local wines, but also enjoy a beautiful scenery and spectacular views on your way.

It’s a great option for a day trip out of Malaga, but please keep in mind the legal driving limits (currently 0.3 gr of alcohol per liter of blood, and 0.15 milligrams per liter of exhaled alcohol). 

Here are some practical tips to keep in mind when booking your tour:

  • most vineyard tours start in the morning hours (10am) or around lunch time, so it’s worth checking that this will work for you
  • comfortable shoes and sun protection are a must
  • winery visits usually entail also visiting the vineyard grounds, tasting rooms, maturing rooms and a selection of tapas to accompany the food – you won’t get this experience on a local wine tour in the city
  • if you’re worried about the weather spoiling your trip, all of these tours come with 24 hour cancellation policy so you have plenty of time to adjust and change your plans
  • most tours are offered in English and Spanish language, please check carefully that the selected date and time is offered in the language you want

Malaga Wine Museum

Another convenient way to explore the wines of the region is by visiting the local wine museum in Malaga.

The museum is in the center of the old town, in a gorgeous 18th century building that used to be the Palacio de Biedmas.

It contains exhibitions from the history of wine production in Malaga and features many of the local wineries. For a modest entrance fee, you also get a tasting of 2 different wines. Guided tours are also available.

Opening hours : 10 am to 5pm, Monday to Friday

Location : Plaza de los Viñeros 1, Malaga

Entrance fees : 6 euros for adults, which includes tasting of 2 local wines. Tickets available on the spot or on their website (currently doesn’t work).

Wines of Malaga

Malaga is a region rich in different wine varieties, specializing in sweet wine varieties.

Malaga has three different DO, places of origin for the wines: 1) Malaga – mostly known for sweet wine, 2) Sierra de Malaga – white and red wine, and 3) Pasas de Malaga, mostly known for raisins.

Wine, as I always say, is a matter of taste and personal preference, so I won’t be recommending any particular grapes or varieties to try.

In most of the supermarkets, you will also find only a very limited selection of local Spanish wines, at least the ones from Andalusia. You will have more luck in dedicated Bodega shops.

Final Thoughts

I hope you found the perfect Malaga vineyard tour after reading this article!

Wine Tasting in Malaga: 10 Places You Have to Try

Wine tasting near Malaga

Situated along the resplendent Costa del Sol in the Spanish Mediterranean, Malaga has become one of Europe’s most underrated travel destinations. Along with the relaxed atmosphere and beautiful scenery, the culinary scene and incredible local wine varieties of Malaga stand out as major draws for travelers. Surrounded by hills and mountains with the ideal climate and elevation for growing grapes, Malaga’s wine-making tradition dates back thousands of years to Phoenician times. Wine culture has always been a massive part of the lives of Malaga’s local population, and wine tourism has become one of the city’s best features. 

There are dozens of world-renowned wineries and vineyards dotting the hills surrounding Malaga. There are also numerous wine bars and bodegas lining the streets and squares, where locals gather to sample their favorite local wine, relax with some tapas plates, and socialize. Being a smaller city, without the “clubbing til 5 AM” culture of Barcelona or Seville, wine tasting is a huge part of Malaga’s nightlife . 

With all the wine tasting you're bound to be doing on your trip to Malaga, make things easy on yourself and head to a Bounce luggage storage location in the city . That way, you can sample your wine without a care in the world!

Whether you’re a true aficionado or just an enthusiastic traveler who wants to get a sense of this vibrant culture, there is so much to learn and explore. Here are the best tapas bars, restaurants, guided tours, and vineyards to visit in Malaga for an epic wine-tasting experience:

Vineyards near Malaga

Bodega Doña Felisa

Andalusia is one of the most fertile corners of Europe for growing grapes, so it makes sense that it’s one of the best day trip destinations for wine tastings. For one, the elevation and soil are both perfect for wine production. It’s no mistake that there are other wineries neighboring Doña Felisa (it’s located near Setenil de las Bodegas ); even the Romans regarded this area as one of the greatest wine regions in their domain. Researchers have found coins minted with grape clusters displaying the famous de Ronda grapes. 

Bodega Doña Felisa is one of the premier wineries in the countryside located in the hills surrounding the Costa Del Sol. There is an elegance to not only the lovely buildings, cellar, and tasting rooms, but the atmosphere cultivated by the family that operates the winery is relaxed and inviting. 

It’s located 90 minutes from Malaga City Center and produces some of the best examples of distinctive local wines, like Vina De Ronda. The walking tour of the vineyard is a delightful experience and very popular. A reservation for a group tour is recommended; just make it well in advance. Luckily, there is free cancellation. If you’re going to take a day trip from Malaga out to these storied hills, Doña Felisa should be on your list of stops. If you are interested in the outdoors, you can stop by a number of Natural Parks, including the Montes de Malaga or the Caminito del Rey, for hiking and kayaking. 

Cordel del Puerto al Quejigal, s/n, 29400 Ronda, Málaga, Spain

Manzana De Oro

Great wine tastings are not exclusive to vineyards or bars. Spain has a fantastic tradition of corner wine shops called bodegas. These charming little stores sell everything from rare vintages to deli products like olive oil, cheese, and cured meats. Basically, all of them sell locally produced cheeses to pair with the wine. Manzana De Oro is no different; in fact, it’s one of the best places to taste wine in Malaga. It’s a comfortable place to hang out and shop, and their wine selection is one of the best in Malaga. 

Their friendly and knowledgeable staff will guide you through their well-curated wine offerings. They sell everything from rare vintages to less expensive bottles. Their main focus is on local wine, but you’ll find some excellent imports as well. There is a small tasting area for sampling where you can discuss the products with the staff or even some locals. This is the perfect place to stop if you’re putting together a picnic or looking to bring a local wine (you can’t get anywhere else) back home.

Outdoor wine tasting in Malaga

Bodega Bar El Pimpi

Bar el Pimpi is a favorite for local wine enthusiasts, as well as every famous visitor who comes to Malaga. This iconic haunt, known for its decorative stacks of wine barrels, is a great place to taste wine from a variety of local and regional producers. Their staff are basically walking encyclopedias (with varying degrees of English fluency) that can help you navigate the staggering selection. The wine list is impressive, but the atmosphere is what sets Bar el Pimpi apart. The relaxed vibe and group of regulars make it a great hangout. You can stand at the bar and rub elbows with locals or grab a cozy table.

The wide variety of wines may leave some customers perplexed about where to start. If you’ve never traveled through the area, it’s best to try something local like the Malaga Virgen . This sweet wine is produced just outside the city, and because it’s made in small batches, is hard to find anywhere else. It will pair beautifully with a plate of cheese and cured meats. 

Calle Granada, 62, 29015 Málaga, Spain

Casa de Vinos La Odisea

Only the most well-informed travelers tend to land at this charming city center wine bar. It’s located near the gorgeous Malaga park, but it’s tucked away, making it one of the best hidden gems in the city. With an amazing rotating tasting menu, customers are treated to Spanish wines from a boutique winery, which pair perfectly with their elevated bar food menu. They have an extended list of bottles as well, so hanging out here can be like visiting a wine museum. They have some tasty Sangre de Ronda, and you can easily grab a snack to pair with it.

Subida Coracha, 1, 29016 Málaga

Bodega La Capuchina

Located north of Malaga in the gorgeous Andalusian hills, Bodega La Cappuccina is one of the most prodigious wineries in the region. The expansive estate originally housed a monastery, and most of the structure is intact, it’s just now used to produce some of the best wine in Southern Spain. The Garcia Segura family owns and operates the winery, tending not only to the grapes but also courtyards and sprawling gardens. 

While grapes indigenous to the region still grow in Bodega La Capuchina ’s soil, the expert vintners have imported a number of varieties that benefit from the winery’s superb climate and soil. Their original white grape varieties include Doradillo, Pedro Ximénez, and Moscatel de Alejandría, but Merlot and Cabernet Franc are now grown as well. Upon visiting, a member of the family (or one of their longtime employees) will guide you through the grounds. Every walking tour concludes with a tasting of their phenomenal wines. 

Finca Capuchina, Mollina, 29532 Málaga

El Templo De Vino

It might not take a fluent Spanish speaker to conclude that El Templo De Vino means “The Wine Temple.” Especially not after visiting this fantastic wine shop. If you want to find the absolute best Sangre de Ronda, this is your place. The wine menu has one of the best selections of this local delicacy in Malaga, and the staff is so familiar with this style that they can tell you everything about each bottle, from the grapes to the producers themselves. 

They not only serve the best Spanish wines but there is an impeccably-curated list of imports that the staff feels Malaga wine enthusiasts (and visitors) need to try. There are a small number of selections you can try by the glass, but the primary function of the shop is for customers to find that perfect bottle, which, luckily, the staff is well-suited for. El Templo De Vino is centrally located near Malaga city center, so you can stop in for a glass before a flamenco show or dinner or just grab a bottle (or three) for a picnic. 

Calle Sebastián Souvirón, 8, 29005 Málaga, Spain

Best wine tasting spots in Malaga

Los Patios De Beatas

This delightful little wine bar and bistro employs expert sommeliers to curate one of the best wine lists in Malaga. With over 500 wines to choose from, you’ll need their friendly staff, which is mostly fluent in English, to navigate their expansive menu. The bar itself has limited seating, but a small group can usually find a table on most nights. The food is phenomenal, especially their jamón Ibérico, which pairs nicely with a local sweet wine or light red. Los Patios De Beatas also programs one of the premier wine clubs in Malaga, making it especially popular with local wine enthusiasts.

Calle Beatas, 43, 29006 Málaga, Spain

Wine Museum of Málaga (Museo del Vino-Málaga)

If you want to learn everything there is to know about the Malaga region’s wine history in one place, this is the place. The Wine Museum of Malaga has put together the most exhaustive collection of artifacts and educational features that tell the story of Malaga’s winemaking industry and history. The museum goes through the story of the evolution of Moscatel, the sweet wine variety Malaga is famous for. From Phoenician and Roman times to the modern era, this museum will illustrate how this wonderful product has been made through the centuries and how it arrived at its current state. 

Like all the best walking tours, this one ends with a wine tasting. Because who can learn THAT much about wine without getting a little thirsty? All of the vintages on offer are from local producers and curated by the museum’s sommeliers. The Wine Museum rarely gets overcrowded, but you can always book ahead with free cancellation. 

Plaza de los Viñeros 1 (off Calle Carreteria), 29008 Malaga

This comfortable bistro is ideal for group wine tastings with friends, as the tables are large and can fit a number of people, and the atmosphere is cordial. The wine list is over 200 long, but OCHO really focuses on curation and discovery. The list is rotating, so outside of a few of the owner’s favorites, you never know what you'll get to taste when you walk through their doors. 

While they serve a wide variety of wines, OCHO has a special selection of delicate wines like the local favorite Serrania de Ronda, which pairs well with the bar’s unbelievable menu of authentic Argentinian food. Expect selections from smaller wineries and plenty of organic options and natural wines. It should be no surprise that OCHO is the go-to spot for local wine nerds!

Calle Pedro de Toledo, 2, 29015 Málaga, Spain

Wine Tourism Spain

The Private Wine Tour, hosted by Wine Tourism Spain , is your best bet for discovering and exploring the region’s wine culture. Your tour group will be guided through the Malaga Mountains to the wineries and vineyards surrounding the city. Each group will learn how this amazing product is grown, produced, and packaged, but the best part has to be the depth of information about the industry's history. 

The tour guide will also host a gourmet tapas tasting, with wine pairing, of course. In Spain, tapas and wine are a way of life, and pairing the two is considered an art form. The tasting will also recommend the best spots for tapas and wine in Malaga. 

Every tour guide that Wine Tourism Spain employs is a trained professional. All of them are not only passionate about Malaga’s fantastic wine and culinary culture, but they are trained to provide the most comprehensive and enjoyable experience possible.

Where to taste wine in Malaga

Most travelers are aware of Spain’s fantastic culinary culture, which draws millions of visitors to the country every year. Malaga is no different; if anything, it is one of the hot spots for wine culture that rivals even the most prodigious wine-making regions of Italy and France. The Spanish wine tourism industry is one of the most illustrious in the world. 

Whether it’s the walking tours guided by the winemakers themselves, or a charming corner bodega serving the best Spanish wines (with snacks, of course), there are incredible wine-tasting experiences to be had in a city like Malaga. If you’re spending 3 days in Malaga or just have an extended layover, it’s worth exploring this city’s historic wine scene.

Malaga wine tours

Overview of Malaga Wines and their Unique Characteristics

The history of Malaga wine stretches far back to the 16th century BC, and it was first made by Phoenicians. This area in southern Spain is renowned for producing some of the most extraordinary wines on Earth – they have their own special terroir, micro-climate and traditional winemaking practices that are still practiced today. Generally speaking, these great tasting vinos feature a sweet taste with a deep fruity essence which is only found here in this region!

When it comes to Sherry wines, they are generally blended with grapes native to the area like Pedro Ximenez, Moscatel de Alejandria and Malvasia. This complex mixture of flavors produces a broad range in sweetness levels – usually from very dry to semi-sweet or even syrupy sweet! Among these styles, white wine featuring aromas of citrus fruits coupled with floral nuances such as jasmine or honeysuckle is especially popular; reds typically offer more intense notes including blackberry, licorice, coffee beans’ aroma plus tobacco flavor and sometimes dark chocolate tones.

When it comes to Malaga wines, they have their very own unique aging process that gives them a special character over time. As part of the traditional Solera procedure, wine is aged in barrels for many years before being released for bottling or blending. This system creates different layers of complexity with each vintage drawing out its particular nuances and flavors while still keeping its core identity intact. What’s more, most dry Malaga wines are fortified with brandy so they can last longer on shelves!

Altogether these demonstrate just how truly one-of-a kind splendidly exquisite Malagas are – thanks to terroir combined with centuries old winemaking techniques which continue to stand up even today!

Highlighting the Wine Regions of Malaga and their Influence

The wine regions of Malaga in Spain are legendary for their long history of producing amazing wines. Hundreds of years ago, this Spanish region was already well-known as one of Europe’s oldest and most renowned winemaking areas – something that still holds true today! There is a plethora of incredible wineries located throughout the area – some have even been around for centuries. It’s no surprise then that through all these generations, Malaga has managed to acquire an international reputation based on its sophisticated blends made from local grapes grown in unique terroirs – truly remarkable stuff!

When it comes to wines in Malaga, there are two main types – reds and whites. Reds involve many different varieties of grapes like Grenache, Tempranillo, Syrah, Carignan and Mourvedre which can be used either as a single variety wine or part of complex blends. When it comes to the white ones you will find Verdejo , Chardonnay , Viognier Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc among others that contribute with their flavor profile while helping towards creating specific style for Malaga’s finest winemakers. It begs the question what makes these particular brands so special?

In addition to traditional winemaking techniques like foot-treading on laminate fermentation tanks in open-air cellars filled with natural sunlight coming through large windows or skylights, which have been used for centuries, modern technology such as temperature control systems are also put into use by today’s vintners. This helps them capture the delicate nuances emanating from each vineyard’s terroir and present all its unique character has to offer. Malaga not only produces still wines but sparkling options too – Cava being one of these; a Spanish classic made using age old practices including bottle fermentation over many months while resting upon lees (the sediment left behind after fermentation). The intense flavor typical of this beverage makes it particularly delightful when coupled with regional foods such as jamon or tapas. If you’re looking forward to an enjoyable taste experience then look no further than Malaga! From sweet dessert Wines; Fino Sherries; refreshing White Wines; full bodied Red Wines and exuberant Cavas – there is something here that can tantalize your tastebuds!

Detailed Analysis of Malaga Wine Production Methods

The popularity of Malaga wines is on the rise and it’s no wonder – they’re full of flavor and have a beautiful hue. This unique taste comes from certain processes during their production which involve blending several types of grape varieties carefully chosen for the outcome. To get an exquisite bottle, producers must keep tight control over selection, fermentation techniques and aging elements at every step. Selection of grapes take pride in determining how delicious your wine will be; each type carries its own flavors thanks to different chemical makeup!

As a producer, it’s essential to pick the right combination of grapes in order for them to produce the desired flavor. Sugar content often needs to be considered as you want higher levels that can contribute valuable aromas or tannins too. To create something unique and stand out from other wines, wild or local varieties are sometimes mixed with traditional ones – this adds an extra level of character! But what exactly is included when mixing these together? What impact does each type have on taste and aroma profile? Questions like these must be thought through carefully before deciding your final blend.

Choosing the grapes is an essential part of creating Malaga wines, and once selected they are moved to the fermentation area. Here temperatures have been carefully chosen in order to promote yeast growth without destroying any delicate flavors associated with each grape variety. To enhance particular characteristics, winemakers add a special ingredient called “must” which can draw out aromas or deepen color. Aging plays just as important role in making great quality Malagas – depending on what type wine you’re crafting, producers may choose from aging techniques like oak barrel storage or stainless steel tanks that would bring different effects on flavor and complexity of end product. It’s not hard to understand why people admire these wonderful beverages for their elegant taste; it takes thoughtful consideration throughout all stages of production!

Breakdown of the Winemaking Process in Malaga

For those who don’t know much about winemaking in Malaga, it can be a bit puzzling. Despite being an age-old practice, the region has stayed nearly unchanged since its golden era back in 1800s – so there’s no straightforward instruction manual for newbie winemakers to depend on when they’re first getting started there. It’s not easy figuring out all the steps and methods connected with producing wine here. Have you ever tried making your own?

Are you ready to learn all about winemaking? Well, we’ve got the step-by-step details right here. First off, harvesting grapes is key! They have to be carefully handpicked and sorted for quality and ripeness. Then they need crushing – that’s where pressing comes in – before their juice can be extracted. Finally, this juice has to ferment a certain amount of time based on what kind of wine is being made; usually several days or weeks. It sounds complicated but it’s really quite an interesting process when seen up close! After fermentation is done, the next step is aging. This can either be in oak barrels or stainless steel tanks before bottling it up and making it available for consumption. Labels also have to be designed with important information like vintage year and grape variety on them so that when people go out shopping they know what type of wine Malaga has made!

Clearly, winemaking isn’t easy by any means! It takes skill to pick different types of grapes at just the right time and a lot of waiting while its sitting in those casks/barrels maturing into perfection. If you don’t pay attention during each stage then there’s no telling whether your end product will turn out alright – after all, this is quality not quantity we’re talking about here!

Focus on Popular Malaga Wineries and their Offerings

Exploring the wineries of Malaga is truly a delightful experience. With its rich culture and tradition, this sunny Mediterranean province on Spain’s southern coast boasts many renowned winemakers who have been rewarded with awards from all over the world for their unique wines. It comes as no surprise that so many visitors find themselves drawn to this lively region in order to sample what it has to offer! If you’re one of them and looking forward to experiencing some popular vineyards throughout Malaga, there are plenty out there just waiting for you!

When it comes to exploring Malaga, there are plenty of wineries to check out. Take Bodegas Fernando Castro for instance; one of the oldest wine estates in Andalusia, they’ll take you through their vineyards and production facilities on a guided tour before giving visitors the chance to sample some of their premium wines such as reds, whites, rosés or dessert wines. Another place worth visiting is Atalaya Bodegas Alejandro Fernandez where you can explore the different “terroirs” that give each type of wine its unique flavor characteristics – all while being taken around the vineyard too! For those wanting a truly hands-on experience with Spanish viticulture then Finca la Estacada is your best bet – this award-winning estate offers tastings and pairing classes so that you can learn how food complements certain types of wine perfectly alongside trying them both together!

Whether planning an afternoon at one winery or spending more time traversing them all in search for something special from malage’s offering be sure not forget the most important part: sampling what’s available first!

Pairing Recommendations for Malaga Wines

Malaga wines are definitely underrated! They often don’t get as much attention when compared to Rioja or Cava, but they offer a really special flavor that can be enjoyed all on its own or paired with some delicious food. Plus, the vineyards in this region have been around since way back in 1400s – so it’s no surprise Malaga was given AOC status pretty early on (1904). Nowadays there is just such an array of grapes available from this Spanish wine-producing area; you’re bound to find one which tantalizes your taste buds and tickles your nose!

When it comes to exploring the world of Malaga wines, there’s a lot to consider! From body and sweetness levels to acidity, pairings for these unique Spanish vintages can vary quite drastically. Generally speaking, whites tend towards being light-bodied and dry while reds range from medium-bodied and fruity all the way up to full-bodied robustness. The sweeter styles like Moscatel are especially great paired with desserts or other sweet dishes. It’s always important when pairing wine with food that you respect both flavors – acidic whites such as Verdejo go well with seafood while tannic reds match better against heartier meat plates. All in all, those looking for something different should definitely look into this lesser known area of Spain; Malaga has plenty on offer worth checking out!

In conclusion, Malaga is an incredible wine-producing region of Spain. Its wineries and vineyards produce some fantastic wines ranging from dry whites to sweet reds that can satisfy just about any palate. The unique terroir combined with the complex winemaking process makes Malaga a true leader in wine production worldwide. If you’re looking for a crisp white or bold red – Malaga will have something special waiting for you!

Wine Areas in Malaga

The D.O. Malaga and D.O. Sierras de Malaga are divided into five distinct geographical regions, namely Axarquia, Costa Occidental-Manilva, Montes, Norte, and Serrania de Ronda. It is important to note that two of these regions overlap with each other.

Axarquia is situated in the farthest Eastern part of the wine region and extends from the Mediterranean sea to the mountains. As a result, vineyards are often found on extremely steep hills with slopes as steep as 50-60 percent, making it impossible for machines to be used. This obstacle forces vine growers to endure challenging conditions, particularly during harvest time. Even in modern times, it is not uncommon to witness mules transporting the grapes from the vineyards to the wineries. Despite the difficulties posed by the terrain, Axarquia is the primary subzone for wine production in the province of Malaga. Alexandria Muscat has been cultivated here for over two millennia.

Another grape variety that is highly regarded is the native Romé, which comes in both white and red varieties. This particular grape is well-suited to the sub-tropical climate found in this region, characterized by mild weather and limited rainfall, but with a significant amount of moisture due to its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea. The entire area is known for its production of raisins, a process in which the vine growers dry the muscat grapes on designated surfaces called “paseros” to create raisins. Once the clusters are fully dried, the raisins are separated from the stems and sold.

COSTA OCCIDENTAL-MANILVA (WESTERN COAST-MANILVA)

The wines produced in the Costa Occidental region face a tough competitor – buildings made of bricks. Due to the proximity to the Costa del Sol, vineyards have had to relocate to higher ground where there is less competition for land. Areas closer to the coast have been taken over by highways, golf courses, shopping centers, and residential complexes. However, this doesn’t mean that the battle is lost. Despite the challenges, wine varieties, table grapes, and raisins are still being produced in the region. These are grown at higher elevations or further inland, facing the sea. The most commonly grown variety is Alexandria Muscat, but there is also an increasing presence of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Tempranillo.

MONTES (MOUNTAINS)

The city of Malaga is encircled by a hilly terrain that presents a great diversity in the conditions for growing vines. This variety allows wineries to produce a broad selection of wines including still wines (red, rosé, or white), naturally sweet wines, fortified wines like the popular ‘Pajarete’ style, and even sparkling wines. Two well-known local brands to look out for are Antigua Casa de Guardia (make sure to visit their historic tavern in Malaga) and Quitapenas. The main grape varieties used are Pere Ximen (Pedro Ximenez) and Muscat.

NORTE (NORTH)

The local subarea is home to the Doradilla grape variety, but the Pere Ximen (Pedro Ximenez) is also widely found. In contrast to the Axarquia or Montes regions, where vineyards are typically situated on hilly terrain, the vineyards in this area are planted on fertile soil that is perfectly level. The climate here is continental because the influence of the sea cannot reach this elevated inland location.

SERRANIA DE RONDA (RONDA MOUNTAIN RANGE)

The remains of the Roman city named ‘Acinipo’ can be found close to Ronda, and the term ‘Acinipo’ signifies a place known for its wine production, making this area around Ronda long involved in winemaking. About half of the wineries affiliated with D.O. Malaga and D.O. Sierras de Maraga are located here. Due to its high elevation of over 700 masl (2300 ft), this land has primarily focused on producing still wines rather than traditional ones. Consequently, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Tempranillo have become increasingly popular in recent times. Ronda is recognized as one of the most picturesque towns in Spain. We suggest indulging in a Ronda wine tour, either beginning from Malaga or directly from Ronda, to enjoy both the charms of Ronda itself and the wineries and wines it offers.
