Requeijão Serra da Estrela Our pick Fresh requeijão is white, creamy and mild. A dry traditional-method Dão sparkling brings bubbles and acidity that clear the palate between spoonfuls without masking the delicate flavour of the whey curd. Dão traditional-method sparkling, Dão: Quinta da Falorca Espumante Blanc de Noir Bruto Grande Reserva
Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho Our pick Velho is strong, salty and lightly peppery with a persistent aroma. A full-bodied Dão red blend, with medium to firm tannin, has the weight to stand beside it, and the cheese's salt and aged fat round the wine's grip. Full-bodied Dão red blend, Dão: Quinta da Falorca Noblesse Oblige
Queijo Serra da Estrela Our pick Serra da Estrela's buttery paste wants a red that lifts it. A medium-bodied Dão red blend, with tannin no higher than medium and acidity to cut through the cream, refreshes the palate without scraping against the cheese. Medium-bodied Dão red blend, Dão: Quinta da Falorca Colheita Selecionada
