Wine and cheese

Cheese with Verdelho

Every cheese
Queijo Serpa Our pick A young Serpa is buttery and mild, at most slightly picante. A dry white led by Antão Vaz, with or without a touch of oak, has the high acidity to cut through that butter and leaves the ewe's milk flavour clean on the finish. Antão Vaz, dry white, Alentejo: Marias da Malhadinha Branco · Ponte Mouchão Branco · Chaminé Branco
Queijo Serra da Estrela Our pick Serra da Estrela's fresh paste is buttery, creamy and slightly acidulous. A dry Dão white blend of native grapes, raised mainly in steel or concrete, brings acidity that cleans the palate after each mouthful of the unctuous cheese. Dão white blend, fresh and mostly unoaked, Dão: Quinta da Pellada Primus Branco
Queijo Serpa Velho Our pick Past 180 days Serpa Velho is hard, dry and intense, with a lingering flavour. A dry white fermented or aged wholly or partly in oak has the extra texture to stand beside it, and its acidity cuts the fat of the aged ewe's milk. Barrel-fermented or part-oaked dry white, Alentejo: Marias da Malhadinha Branco · Santa Vitória Reserva Branco · Herdade das Servas Reserva Branco
Queijo de Évora Our pick Évora is firm, slightly picante and acid. A dry Alentejo white blend made without oak, light to medium in body and fresh, keeps pace with the cheese's tang, and no wood stands between the wine and the ewe's milk. Unoaked Alentejo white blend, Alentejo: Ponte Mouchão Branco · Chaminé Branco
