Your wine character
This is one of the nine Caractère wine characters.
Provocative
Someone had to say it
If everyone agrees too quickly, you want to ask another question. You might put on music people ask you to turn off, or defend a film everyone else hates. You like a choice with a character of its own. Universal approval is optional.
Your wine character is Provocative. This wine might split the table into two camps. Someone will ask for more; someone else will question your taste. Looks like you've found something to talk about.
A Portuguese example
Baga · Bairrada
A young Baga from Bairrada can bring dark berries, high acidity and tannins that make their presence felt. Choose a traditional, firmly structured red for this character. Its uncompromising edge is exactly why we’d put it in the Provocative corner.
