History

The history of the winery Jorge Ordoñez began 10 years ago in Almachar, a mountainous region of steep slopes and slate soils, on the Mediterranean. This is one of the oldest wine-growing areas in Europe, famous for its excellent raisins.

A project based on innovation produced from old vineyards of Muscat of Alexandria, sweet wines of the Designation of Origin Málaga and Moscatel Seco and Garnacha DO Sierras de Málaga.

The winery Jorge Ordóñez decided to make their wines from the Muscat of Alexandria grapes of the region of Axarquia. It is a challenge because the traditional destination of their grapes was the production of raisins.

The winery Jorge Ordóñez is the first company to produce wines with these features in Málaga and the first winery in the history of Málaga in producing a Quiet Moscatel Seco.

Due to a steady growth in production, in 2008 the winery began to move their facilities to Vélez-Málaga, where it is currently located.
