Global InformationTinta Carvalha information
Tinta Carvalha is a red Portuguese wine grape variety that is widely planted throughout Portugal, most notably in the Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro Province, due to its easy maintenance and high yield potential. It is primarily a blending grape that on its own tends to produce light bodied, nondescript wines.[1] It is an approved grape variety used in Port wine production as well as the non-fortified wines of the Chaves and Valpaços wine region.[2]
