Wine and cheese

Cheese with Tinto Cao

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
Queijo de Cabra Transmontano Our pick The goat's cheese is extra-hard with a clean flavour and a slight tang. Thirty and forty-year tawnies are intensely concentrated, with dried fruit, spice and aged wood, a deep sweetness that answers the tang. 30 and 40 Year Old Tawny Port, Douro Valley: Taylor's 40 Year Old Tawny · Taylor's 30 Year Old Tawny
