Málaga and the history of wine

 

 

The history of Malagan wine dates back to the Phoenician era, so is considered one of the first cities in Europe to grow wines. The main Malagan wines are: Pajarete, Moscatel, Lágrima, Pedro Ximén, Málaga Dulce Color and Málaga Seco. The main characteristic of Malagan wine is that it is sweet, so it should be drunk slowly by sipping it, and it also pairs almost perfectly with any dessert.

As a curiosity, it should be mentioned that Malagan wines came to become so globally famous after a Spanish ambassador in Russia gifted a few boxes of this wine to Catherine the Great. The Empress liked it so much that she let them not pay tax across her empire. Almost nothing!
