Málaga sweet wine
Type
Gastronomy & Flavors
Málaga's sweet wine is a centuries-old treasure, made from sun-ripened Muscat or Pedro Ximénez grapes grown in the hills around the city. After harvesting, the grapes are often dried under the sun to concentrate their sugars—a process called asoleo. The result is a deep, amber-colored fortified wine with rich aromas of raisins, honey, and caramel. Once served at royal courts across Europe, Málaga sweet wine is part of the city's identity. Today, it's enjoyed as a dessert wine or paired with cheese, offering a delicious sip of Andalusian heritage.
