Variety description

10 August 2026

Tinta Carvalha is an ancient variety characteristic of the Alentejo region and is thought to have originated from a natural cross between the Sarigo and Alfrocheiro Preto varieties. The plant is characterized by vigorous growth, high yield, and early bud break. The flowers are hermaphroditic and self-fertile.

The variety is sensitive to fungal diseases, especially powdery mildew and gray mold. In winemaking, it is used mainly in blends to provide freshness and acidity, and less frequently as a single-varietal wine. The wines are characterized by a light body and aromas of red and black berries, along with herbal and mineral notes.

The variety has synonyms such as Carvalha, Lobão, Preto Gordo, and Tinta Carvalha do Douro. It is important to distinguish it from the Portuguese variety Rufete, which is sometimes erroneously referred to by the name Tinta Carvalha.
