Cheese with Adega Cartuxa wines

Queijo Serpa Our pick Serpa's buttery, mild paste softens the tannin of a dry red blend of Aragonez and Trincadeira. The lighter, briefly oaked bottles suit a young wheel; the full-bodied, oak-aged reservas want a cheese with more age to hold its own. Aragonez and Trincadeira red, Alentejo: Cartuxa Reserva Tinto · EA Tinto
Queijo de Évora Our pick Évora is a small, firm ewe's cheese, slightly picante and acid, more so in the hard paste. A medium-bodied Alentejo red with moderate tannin refreshes the mouth between slices without laying a heavy tannic coat over the cheese. Medium-bodied Alentejo red, Alentejo: EA Tinto
