Cheese with Vallegre (Quinta da Vista Alegre) wines

Queijo Terrincho Velho Our pick The Velho is a hard, strong aged sheep's cheese. Vintage Port is sweet, black-fruited and firmly structured, and a fortified red of that weight beside a firm aged cheese is a classic structure match: the sweetness meets the strength and the tannin meets the firm paste.
