Alentejo wine and cheese

Queijo Serpa with Antão Vaz, dry white

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.

Queijo Serpa Velho with Alicante Bouschet red

Our pick

Past 180 days Serpa Velho is hard, dry and slightly brittle, with an intense, lingering flavour. A full-bodied, deeply coloured red led by Alicante Bouschet has the weight to meet it, and the aged ewe's milk fat rounds the wine's tannin.

Queijo de Évora with Vinho de Talha red

Our pick

Portuguese Wikipedia says Évora cheese was once kept under olive oil in clay talhas. Reds fermented in talha share that clay and carry high acidity that echoes the cheese's slightly acid, picante paste; the lighter, younger bottles suit the semi-hard wheel.
