Wine and cheese

Cheese with Bical

Every cheese
Queijo Serra da Estrela Our pick Serra da Estrela's paste is buttery, unctuous and only slightly acidulous. A dry Encruzado white has the acidity to cut that cream and enough texture of its own to match the cheese's soft, rich body. Encruzado, dry white, Dão: Quinta dos Roques Reserva Branco
Requeijão Serra da Estrela Our pick Requeijão is eaten with honey or pumpkin preserve, so a sweet wine follows the same line. A late-harvest Dão white, soft and full with low acidity, matches the creamy white curd rather than cutting through it. Late-harvest Dão white, Dão: Quinta dos Penassais Colheita Tardia Branco
Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho Our pick A salt and sweet contrast: the salty, lightly peppery paste of an aged Velho against a sweet late-harvest or noble-rot Dão white, whose sugar softens the cheese's strength and lingers alongside its persistent aroma. Late-harvest and noble-rot Dão whites, Dão: Quinta dos Penassais Colheita Tardia Branco
