Tinta Negra MoleThe absolute ruler on the island. About 80% of the total planting is Tinta Negra Mole. You can find them all over the island, but most vineyards are found in the north. The grape is mainly used to produce basic madeira. However, some producers, in which Barbeito is the biggest innovator, are making beautiful wines with this underrated grape! A positive evolution for the future as there is much more production in this variety.
