Sierras de Malaga

Location: Spain

Legal name: DO Sierras de Malaga

Sierras de Malaga is a Spanish protected wine appellation in Andalusia, useful for drinkers who want to move beyond the best-known Spanish regions. Its practical label identity is Andalusian DO for still dry wines from Malaga province. Typical wines are dry whites, rosados, and reds ranging from fresh mountain-influenced styles to fuller Mediterranean wines. The vineyard context is Mediterranean mountains and valleys with altitude, slate, limestone, and coastal influence in some areas.
