Wine and cheese

Dão cheese with Cercial

All Dão pairings
Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho Our pick Velho is strong, lightly peppery and salty. A Reserva, Grande Reserva or oak-aged Encruzado has the depth from age, lees or wood to meet it, and its acidity cuts through the aged fat while the salt sets off the fruit. Reserva, Grande Reserva or barrel-aged Encruzado, Dão: Vinhas da Teixuga Branco
Queijo Serra da Estrela Our pick Serra da Estrela's fresh paste is buttery, creamy and slightly acidulous. A dry Dão white blend of native grapes, raised mainly in steel or concrete, brings acidity that cleans the palate after each mouthful of the unctuous cheese. Dão white blend, fresh and mostly unoaked, Dão: Quinta da Pellada Primus Branco
