What are the wines like?
The Ronda and Málaga 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 Málaga, and comprises different subzones and wine producing areas.Each Designation of Origin protects different wines. Thus, within the Protected Designation of Origin "Málaga" we find: still, sweet and dry wines, and liqueur wines.In the Protected Designation of Origin "Sierras de Málaga" we find: 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 Protected Designation of Origin "Pasas de Málaga", covers raisins obtained by sun-drying the ripe fruit of the Moscatel de Málaga or Moscatel de Alejandría variety, harvested and dried in the district of La Axarquía or in the Manilva sub-zone. 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.
