Tinta Negra Mole is a red Portuguese wine grape commonly used in the production of Madeira. It is the most widely planted variety on the Madeira islands and is considered the industry's "workhorse grape".
The grape produces very high yields of sweet, pale red wine, [1] but is also often fermented without skin contact to produce white wine when making drier varieties of Madeira.
