Cheese with Ervideira wines

Queijo Serpa Velho 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. Alicante Bouschet red, Alentejo: Conde d'Ervideira Reserva Tinto
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: Vinha d'Ervideira 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: Vinha d'Ervideira Tinto
