Historical Context
Bodegas Larios was not only renowned for its brandies but also for its long tradition of producing Málaga sweet wines.
Founded in Málaga during the 19th century, the company developed a complete range of fortified and naturally sweet wines made from traditional local grape varieties, particularly Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel.
These wines were produced according to the historic Málaga winemaking tradition, often involving oxidative ageing and extended maturation, resulting in remarkable complexity and concentration.
Following the acquisition of Bodegas Larios by Pernod Ricard in 1997 and the subsequent restructuring of the company, most of these historic wine references gradually disappeared from the market.
Today, original bottles produced in Málaga have become increasingly difficult to find and represent an important part of the heritage of one of Andalusia’s most historic wine and spirits producers.
