What are the wines like?
The Ronda and Malaga Wine Route is home to the Protected Designations of Origin ‘Málaga’, ‘Sierras de Málaga’ and ‘Pasas de Málaga’. It’s located in the province of Malaga, and comprises different subzones and wine producing areas.Each Designation of Origin protects different wines. The “Malaga” Protected Designation of Origin includes still, sweet and dry wines and liqueur wines.The “Sierras de Malaga” Protected Designation of Origin includes whites, rosés, reds and sweet reds. Within this protected designation of origin there is a subzone called ‘Serranía de Ronda’, and six wine producing areas.The “Pasas de Malaga” Protected Designation of Origin is made from raisins obtained by drying mature Moscatel de Malaga or Moscatel de Alejandría grapes in the sun; they are harvested and dried in the Axarquía region, or in the subzone of Manilva. This way of drying the grapes naturally in the sun is traditional in this zone, and is the only method permitted by the Regulation, ensuring that the product retains those organoleptic characteristics that make it unrivalled in flavour, texture and colour.
