Tinta Negra

Tinta Negra is the soul and the engine of Madeira wine production, being the island’s most widely planted variety. Versatile and resilient, this red grape adapts to different altitudes to produce the four classic styles of Madeira: Sercial (Dry), Verdelho (Medium-Dry), Bual (Medium-Sweet), and Malmsey (Sweet). Its wines reveal attractive red fruit aromas, caramel, and nutty notes with cask aging. With balanced freshness and remarkable evolutionary capacity, Tinta Negra is essential in preserving the unique identity and worldwide fame of Madeira’s fortified wines.
