'Tinta Negra Mole' is a red wine variety used in the Canaries , Madeira and California (→ viticulture in California ) .
Wine
The Tinta Negra Mole is not quite as noble, but still an officially approved red wine variety for Madeira blended with brandy . Also known as "the black velvet" from which more than half of Madeira's wine is made. Wines from this versatile grape variety are marketed under the following taste designations based on the classic styles of the "noble varieties" (' Sercial ', ' Verdelho ', ' Bual ', ' Malmsey '):
- dry
- medium-dry (semi-dry)
- medium-sweet (semi-sweet)
- sweet (sweet)
The Tinta can imitate the flavor of the nobler variety to a certain extent, but does not achieve the same quality or shelf life . This grape variety is responsible for the loss of quality and image of Madeira in the 19th and 20th centuries, which from then on was often only known as a simple cooking wine. Nevertheless, the Tinta is not a “bad” variety per se. It can produce acceptable qualities.
