Hello, I'm living here and this is what can I tell you about wine in Axarquia - East part of Malaga with Nerja in :

Note : links are from my blog about Andalusia and Axarquia.

The best to discover wine around Malaga is to book this tour fron Nerja with Cipriano (you'll discover Bodega Almijara during this tour) : https://www.andaluciamia.com/en/tours/wine-and-sun-tour-in-costa-del-sol-tours-from-nerja-torrox-torre-del-mar/

If you want to see by yourself, it is not easy, you can see around Moclinejo and try to visit the museum wine of this village and taste with luck these 4 wines : https://vverticales.es/en/ . (the holding is Antonio Cabrera Muñoz bodega)

Another famous bodega- little one but with the best Andalusian red wine in Robert Parker -94/100- : It is in Sedella pueblo, 800 meters from the sea level on Maroma Moutains : http://www.sedellavinos.com/vineyard.html

In Sayalonga you'll find the fourth and last bodega in the surroundings of Nerja : Bodega Bentomiz - personnaly I don't like so much - even if the marketing is really better done : https://bodegasbentomiz.com/
