Málaga 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.

Growing season (April–October; October–April south of the equator): mean temperature against Málaga's 1991–2020 normal (hot: 1 °C or more above, warm: 0.5 °C, cool/cold below), growing degree days (warmth for the vines, base 10 °C) and rain against normal, with the harvest month (September/March) flagged when very wet or dry. Monthly data from NASA POWER (MERRA-2) at one point in the appellation. The current year is compared with the same months of a normal year (“so far”); its latest months are preliminary and revised by NASA later.
Critics' score: the average of the best 100-point score quoted for each wine of that vintage, as the shops quote them. A few quoted wines make a thin average; the number of wines is in brackets.
