Tinta Amarela is a red wine grape that is commonly used in Port wine production. The grape is noted for the dark coloring that it can add to Port and its use in the Douro region has been increasing in recent years. The vine is susceptible to rot and performs better in dry, hot climates.[1]
It is one of the most widely planted grap varieties in portugal, which is called Trincadeira in Alentejo. It is the oldest and traditional grap variety in Alentejo. The wine tends to be full-bodied and rich, with aromas of Black berries, herbs and flower.
