The wine region of Málaga
Mediterranean Andalusian DO, one of Spain's oldest. Signature sweet wines: Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel sun-dried on paseras: dark, opulent nectars with notes of raisin, fig, date, honey, coffee, cocoa, caramel and an oxidative touch — from dry "Pajarete" to sweet Dulce. DO Sierras de Málaga since 2001 for dry stills (floral Moscatel, fruity Romé, supple Tempranillo, peppery Syrah). Schist and limestone soils.
The wine region of Andalousie
Dry, sun-baked southern Spain, world cradle of fortified and oxidative wines. Sherry from Jerez is the signature: Palomino Fino under a veil of flor yields lively, saline Fino with signature notes of almond, yeast, green apple and a sharp iodine edge; more maritime Manzanilla (Sanlúcar); unveiled Oloroso in grand oxidation (walnut, caramel, tobacco). Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles: intense dark sweet (fig, raisin, coffee, molasses). Also muscat Málaga.
