Wine and cheese

Cheese with Alfrocheiro

Every cheese
Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho Our pick Velho is strong to slightly strong, lightly peppery and salty, with a persistent aroma. A Touriga Nacional-led Dão red has the structure to hold up beside it, and the salt and aged fat of the cheese take some edge off the wine's grip. Touriga Nacional, structured red, Dão: Casa de Santar Oito Parcelas · Quinta dos Roques Reserva Tinto · Soito Reserva Tinto
Requeijão Serra da Estrela Our pick Fresh requeijão is white, creamy and mild. A dry traditional-method Dão sparkling brings bubbles and acidity that clear the palate between spoonfuls without masking the delicate flavour of the whey curd. Dão traditional-method sparkling, Dão: Quinta do Cerrado Espumante Reserva Bruto
Queijo Serra da Estrela Our pick A varietal Alfrocheiro red has the acidity to lift Serra da Estrela's buttery, slightly acidulous paste, and the cream of the raw ewe's milk softens the wine's tannin instead of letting it scrape against the cheese. Alfrocheiro, red, Dão: Alva Magna Grande Reserva Alfrocheiro · Taboadella Reserva Alfrocheiro · Quinta das Marias Alfrocheiro Reserva
