Cheese with Fitapreta 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: Os Paulistas · Palpite 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: Palpite Branco
Queijo Mestiço de Tolosa Our pick Tolosa's semi-soft paste and slightly picante finish want a red with no grip. Moreto and Tinta Carvalha are light in body, low in tannin and made with minimal oak, so the wine stays fresh beside the spice instead of fighting it. Light, low-tannin single-variety red, Alentejo: Moreto · Tinta Carvalha
