Wine and cheese

Cheese with Jaen

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: Quinta dos Roques Reserva Tinto · Casa de Mouraz Private Selection · Menino Afonso Reserva
Queijo Serra da Estrela Our pick Jaen gives a soft Dão red with low to medium tannin, so nothing firm fights the creamy, unctuous paste of a young Serra da Estrela, and the wine's fruit stands up to the cheese's mild, slightly acidulous flavour. Jaen, red, Dão: Taboadella Reserva Jaen · Soito Reserva Jaen · Vinhas da Teixuga Tinto
Requeijão Serra da Estrela Our pick Requeijão is white, creamy and mild. A dry Dão white pressed from red grapes, Jaen or Touriga Nacional, refreshes between spoonfuls of the soft curd and brings a fruit that sets off its mild, milky flavour. White pressed from red grapes, Dão: Julia Kemper Jaen Branco
