Wine and cheese

Cheese with Tinta Amarela

Every cheese
Queijo de Cabra Transmontano Our pick A single-harvest tawny matured for years in cask is sweet and concentrated, with dried fruit at its centre. Set against an extra-hard, slightly piquant goat's cheese, that sweetness softens the tang. Colheita tawny Port, Douro Valley: Niepoort Colheita
Queijo Serra da Estrela Our pick Serra da Estrela's buttery paste wants a red that lifts it. A medium-bodied Dão red blend, with tannin no higher than medium and acidity to cut through the cream, refreshes the palate without scraping against the cheese. Medium-bodied Dão red blend, Dão: Quinta da Pellada Naked Vine
Queijo Terrincho Velho Our pick The Velho is hard and firm with a strong flavour and a paprika-rubbed rind, so it needs structure. These dry Douro reds are full-bodied with firm tannin and high acidity, which hold their own against it. Full-bodied Douro red, Douro Valley: Niepoort Batuta · Wine & Soul Pintas
