Cheese with Quinta do Noval wines

Queijo Terrincho Velho Our pick The Velho is hard and strong, with a rind rubbed in paprika paste. A twenty-year tawny brings concentrated dried fruit and nuts with a long finish, enough concentration to stand beside it; the wine records pair these tawnies with aged cheese. 20 Year Old Tawny Port, Douro Valley: Quinta do Noval 20 Year Old Tawny
Queijo de Cabra Transmontano Our pick The cheese is extra-hard and clean with a slight tang. These dry Douro reds are full-bodied with medium tannin and ripe fruit, rounded enough not to fight a clean cheese. Full-bodied Douro red, medium tannin, Douro Valley: Quinta do Noval Tinto
