Wine and cheese

Jerez & Sherry cheese with Moscatel de Alejandría

All Jerez & Sherry pairings
Queso de Grazalema Our pick Payoyo describes its cured sheep cheese as straw yellow and intense, with a texture that melts on the palate. A sweetened sherry, a dry wine blended with sweet wine and aged in oak, plays its sweetness against the cheese's intensity and salt. Cream, medium and sweetened sherry, Jerez & Sherry: Dry Sack Medium · Cruz del Mar Cream
Queso de cabra payoya Our pick Payoyo describes its cured goat cheese as dark straw and smooth, with an intense goat flavour. A sweet Moscatel sherry, aged oxidatively in American oak, answers that intensity with sweetness, while the cheese's salt keeps the sugar in check.
