Cheese with Cortes de Cima wines

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: Salino Branco · Chaminé Branco
Queijo Serpa Velho Our pick Past 180 days Serpa Velho is hard, dry and intense, with a long finish. A full-bodied red led by Touriga Nacional or Syrah, firm in tannin and aged in French oak, has the weight to stand beside it, and the aged fat softens the grip. Full-bodied Touriga Nacional or Syrah red, Alentejo: Incógnito · Cortes de Cima Tinto
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: Chaminé Branco
