Wine and cheese

Cheese with Tinta Barroca

Every cheese
Queijo Terrincho Velho Our pick The Velho is hard, strong and yellowish, with a rind rubbed with a paprika paste. A ten-year tawny is nutty and mellow, and its sweetness softens that strength; the wine records pair these tawnies with aged cheese. 10 Year Old Tawny Port, Douro Valley: Taylor's 10 Year Old Tawny · Graham's 10 Year Old Tawny · Calem 10 Year Old Tawny
Queijo Serpa Velho Our pick Past 180 days Serpa Velho is hard, dry and intense, with a long finish. A full-bodied red led by Touriga Nacional or Syrah, firm in tannin and aged in French oak, has the weight to stand beside it, and the aged fat softens the grip. Full-bodied Touriga Nacional or Syrah red, Alentejo: Plansel Grande Escolha
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: Kopke Colheita · Dow's Colheita · Burmester Colheita
Queijo Terrincho Our pick Young Terrincho is mild, clean and buttery. A reserve tawny is nutty and lightly sweet, an accessible partner that leaves the cheese's flavour intact. Reserve tawny Port, Douro Valley: Ferreira Dona Antonia Reserva · Graham's The Tawny · Calem Velhotes Reserve Tawny
