Denominación de Origen	Location	Description

Jumilla	Overlapping the provinces of Albacete and Murcia	Robust reds, table reds, whites and rosés. Prevalence of the Monastrell grape variety.

Lanzarote	The entire Canary Island of Lanzarote	Typically sweet wines made from the Malvasia grape (the original "malmsey"). It is astonishing that Lanzarote farmers are able to produce anything at all from the black, volcanic ash which covers the whole island.

Málaga	The grapes are grown throughout the province, but the wine is produced in the municipality of Málaga itself.	Traditionally sweet, white, dessert wines, especially Moscatels.

La Mancha	Don Quixote country: Albacete, Ciudad Real, Cuenca and Toledo	La Mancha is one of the most important regions in terms of quantity of wine made. Traditionally, white wines are made here, though some reds are now produced. Mostly table wines with a few quality exceptions.

Méntrida	The north of the province of Toledo.	Mostly red wine, a little rosé. Strong in taste and alcohol content.

Mondéjar	The southwest of the province of Guadalajara.	Mostly reds, but also whites, rosés and claretes.

Monterrei	The south of the province of Orense, in Galicia, spreading over into Portugal.	Fruity, cheerful red and white table wines.

Montilla-Moriles	The south of the province of Cordoba.	Sherry-like wines, with the same names: fino, amontillado, etc.
