Tinta Negra MoleThe absolute ruler on the island. About 80% of the total plantings are 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, make beautiful wines with this underrated grape! A positive evolution for the future as there is much more production in this variety.
Tinta negra mole may be vinified from dry to sweet.
Barbeito
The wines contain a purity and energy unseen, with an underlying acidity that gives all wines an elegance that has become his signature . It was also Ricardo who was the first to market delicious Canteiro wines based on Tinta Negra Mole. No doubt a choice that gave him an edge over other producers and earned him the title of "gamechanger" with international press. The Madeira Collection 1/2/3/4/5 are also blends based on these young vinous Barbeito wines
