Málaga DO - established in 1933, is a large wine appellation in Spain’s Andalucia region, centred around the city of the same name. This vast viticultural area is divided into five sub-zones, each with its own unique terroir; Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel are the principal grapes, and can be used to produce both fortified wines and unfortified wines from over-ripe or dried grapes, with alcohol levels in excess of 13%. Having seen a significant drop in demand for sweet wines during the late 1900s, Málaga’s dessert wines are now experiencing something of a resurgence.
