Private Full Day Évora, Monsaraz, and Winery Day Trip
Embark on a full-day tour from Lisbon to Évora, Monsaraz, and a winery. Enjoy a guided tour of the winery and learn about the winemaking process.
Évora's municipal market, in the building in the middle of Praça 1º de Maio, sells cheeses among other fresh food, according to Wikivoyage. Which stalls sell cheese, and which cheeses, is not documented.
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.
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.
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.
