Negramoll | Local Wine Variety From Canary Islands, Spain | TasteAtlas

Negramoll

(Mollar Cano)

Negramoll is a red grape variety mainly cultivated on the Iberian islands, but it is best known for its results on the Canary Islands. It is also found on Madeira under the name Tinta Negra Mole, and it is identical to Andalusian Mollar Cano, suggesting that it might have originated on the Spanish mainland.


The grape produces aromatic and light red wines. On Madeira, it is often used for fortified styles, but it is generally used for dry red wines on the Canary Islands. The wines are easy-drinking, approachable, and best enjoyed young. They have medium acidity and soft tannins, while the aroma is reminiscent of ripe fruit with a hint of spice.


The grape is usually blended with Listán Negro. Negramoll wines can be paired with appetizers and red or white meat.
