Sussex wine and cheese

Sussex Slipcote with Blanc de blancs sparkling

Our pick

Slipcote is creamy and lemony, and a dry, high-acid sparkling wine made wholly or mostly from Chardonnay lifts the soft curd with its bubbles instead of weighing it down.

Sussex Slipcote with Bacchus

Our pick

Slipcote is fresh, creamy and lemony, so it suits a light, dry, unoaked white with high acidity. Bacchus is crisp enough to echo the cheese's tang without burying its soft, milky centre.

Sussex Slipcote with Pinot Gris (dry)

Our pick

A dry Pinot Gris has enough weight and roundness to meet the soft curd, while its fruit leaves the lemony tang of the cheese clear.
