Wachau wine and cheese

Mostviertler Schofkas with Grüner Veltliner Federspiel (Wachau DAC)

Our pick

Light and fresh on both sides. The cheese is a mild, slightly sour, creamy sheep curd, traditionally served with chives, salt and pepper; the Federspiel's white pepper and crisp apple echo that seasoning without weighing on the curd.

Mostviertler Schofkas with Riesling Federspiel (Wachau DAC)

Our pick

The cheese is often served with tomatoes and cucumbers; a light, dry Riesling Federspiel with citrus freshness lifts the mild, creamy sheep curd without weighing on it.

Mostviertler Schofkas with Gelber Muskateller Federspiel (Wachau DAC)

Our pick

Floral Muscat blossom and orange zest in a light, dry wine sit gently beside a fresh, creamy sheep cheese, as the same wine does with fresh ricotta.
