D.O. Sierras de Málaga

This DO area geographically corresponds to the DO area of Malaga and thus, like this one, comprises almost 1,200 hectares of vineyards.

The red and rosé wines are mainly blended from the varieties Romé, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Tempranillo. Garnacha Tinta, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir and Petit Verdot are also permitted. The white wines are mainly produced from the varieties Pedro Ximénez, Moscatel de Málaga (Muscat d'Alexandrie), Moscatel Morisco (Muscat Blanc), Chardonnay, Macabeo and Sauvignon Blanc. Lairén (Airén), Doradilla and Colombard are also authorised.
