Wine and cheese

Cheese with Cerceal

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
Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho Our pick Velho is strong, lightly peppery and salty. A Reserva, Grande Reserva or oak-aged Encruzado has the depth from age, lees or wood to meet it, and its acidity cuts through the aged fat while the salt sets off the fruit. Reserva, Grande Reserva or barrel-aged Encruzado, Dão: Quinta dos Roques Reserva Branco
Requeijão Serra da Estrela Our pick Requeijão is mild and creamy, so it takes a lean white: an unoaked varietal Cerceal is light in body with sharp acidity, enough to refresh between spoonfuls without competing with the delicate curd. Cerceal, unoaked white, Dão: Quinta de Saes Tobias Cerceal Branco
