Dão wine and cheese

Queijo Serra da Estrela with Encruzado, dry white

Our pick

Serra da Estrela's paste is buttery, unctuous and only slightly acidulous. A dry Encruzado white has the acidity to cut that cream and enough texture of its own to match the cheese's soft, rich body.

Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho with Touriga Nacional, structured red

Our pick

Velho is strong to slightly strong, lightly peppery and salty, with a persistent aroma. A Touriga Nacional-led Dão red has the structure to hold up beside it, and the salt and aged fat of the cheese take some edge off the wine's grip.

Requeijão Serra da Estrela with Late-harvest Dão white

Our pick

Requeijão is eaten with honey or pumpkin preserve, so a sweet wine follows the same line. A late-harvest Dão white, soft and full with low acidity, matches the creamy white curd rather than cutting through it.
