thumb|right|MalagaMálaga wine is produced in the Spanish province of Málaga under two denominations of origin managed by a single Consejo Regulador: DO Málaga, which covers sweet and fortified wines made primarily from Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel grapes; and DO Sierras de Málaga, created in 2001, which covers dry still whites, rosés, and reds — particularly from the high-altitude Serranía de Ronda subzone. In recent decades, secondary wine-travel and specialist coverage has described Málaga as an evolving or relatively under recognised Spanish wine region rather than solely a historic producer of sweet fortified wines.
Geography
Both DO Málaga and DO Sierras de Málagashare the same geographic territory across 67 municipalities in the province of Málaga, divided into five subzones: Axarquía, Montes de Málaga, Norte, Manilva, and Serranía de Ronda. Axarquía has been described as a principal subzone, with more than 2,200 hectares under vine.
The SO Sierra de Málaga denomination is administered by Spain's oldest wine regulatory council, the Consejo Regulador, established in 1933.
In 2025 the Ronda and Málaga Wine Route was reported to have won a “Best Wine Route to Discover” award.
Classification
Malagas classically come in three distinctions (denominación de origen):
- Malaga (mostly sweet white wines)
- Sierra de Malaga (white, rose and red wines)
- Pasas de Málaga (raisins)
