Your wine character
This is one of the nine Caractère wine characters.
Melancholic
A little longer
An old song can be played again. A familiar city can be revisited. A good evening can be allowed to end a little more slowly. Your answers suggest that you know how to enjoy things with a little sadness in them.
Your wine character is Melancholic. A wine for a dinner that has quietly turned into an evening of memories. It’s dark outside, someone says, “Do you remember?” — and nobody is leaving just yet.
A Portuguese example
Castelão · Palmela, Península de Setúbal
Try a mature Castelão from Palmela. The best examples age beautifully, with preserved-plum and berry notes and a rustic, savoury side. We'd choose a bottle with a few years behind it for Melancholic: a wine with a past, for an evening of remembering.
