This is what good wine from the Tinta Caiada grape tastes like

Tinta Caiada produces dark red wines with a pleasantly fresh acidity and can be somewhat floral. Tinta Caiada grows mainly in Alentejo, but also in Spain's Aragón province and on Corsica, although it goes by a different name there.

In Portugal, Tinta Caiada has been on the rise in recent years. Especially in Alentejo, winemakers are managing to press quite lovely wines from their Tinta Caiada, since this grape can reach optimal ripeness there in particular.

The Spanish province of Aragón is probably the birthplace of the Parraleta grape. In the past there were still quite a few Parraleta vineyards in Aragón; nowadays it is rare there.

On Corsica this grape is called Carcajolo Nero or Carcaghjolu Neru. Carcaghjolu literally means 'high yield', so the pruning shears are needed to make quality wines from this grape.
