Wine and cheese

Cheese with Tinta Roriz

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 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: Soito Reserva Tinto · Julia Kemper Reserva Tinto · Quinta das Marias Cuvée TT Reserva
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 · Niepoort Colheita · Dow's Colheita
Requeijão Serra da Estrela Our pick Fresh requeijão is white, creamy and mild. A dry traditional-method Dão sparkling brings bubbles and acidity that clear the palate between spoonfuls without masking the delicate flavour of the whey curd. Dão traditional-method sparkling, Dão: Quinta dos Monteirinhos Blanc de Noirs
Queijo Terrincho Our pick Young Terrincho is mild and buttery, so it wants a red that will not overpower it. These dry Douro reds are medium-bodied with medium tannin and high acidity, fresh enough to lift the paste. Medium-bodied fresh Douro red, Douro Valley: Niepoort Charme · Post Scriptum de Chryseia · Wine & Soul Manoella Tinto
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 Tinto · Casa de Mouraz Tinto · Quinta das Queimas Dovaia Tinto
