Andalucía & South brings together Jerez, Montilla-Moriles and Málaga, each with its own protected wine identity. Jerez has gently rolling vineyard hills and white calcareous albariza soil. Its dry Fino is made from Palomino and aged under flor.

Montilla-Moriles is warmer, drier and more continental than Jerez. Pedro Ximénez is its emblematic grape, and the grapes may dry outdoors for seven to fifteen days, losing about half their weight as the sweetness concentrates. Its wines include Fino, Amontillado, Oloroso, Palo Cortado and sweet PX, as well as newer dry and sparkling PX wines. A Fino from Montilla-Moriles is not Sherry. Málaga wines are mainly made from Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel.
