La Pasajera 2022

It takes chutzpah to revive old, very steep and labour-intensive vineyards in 2015 in an area that was once world-famous for its wines and has experienced unprecedented decline, and to found the first and only winery in decades. Victoria Ordóñez had the chutzpah and the right people on her side to found this important project in the Sierras de Málaga. Actually, the daughter of a wine merchant had earned a doctorate in medicine. But at some point she became aware of the fallow wine-cultural heritage and the associated vineyards left open and began to get involved. Málaga, that meant and means above all Pédro Ximénez, which used to be mostly fortified and sweet, but in her case is dry and terroir-oriented. In addition, there is the second important grape variety of the region, Moscatel de Málaga, which is also causing a sensation.
