Cheese with Freixenet wines

Formatge serrat Our pick Five years or more on the lees give these single-vineyard Cavas a creamy, savoury depth that stands up to serrat's dense, fatty paste and peppery edge, and their high acidity and fine bead clean the palate between bites. Cava de Paraje Calificado, Penedes: Casa Sala Gran Reserva
Garrotxa Our pick Dry white Cava, high in acidity and with a fine bead, scrubs Garrotxa's buttery paste from the palate, while its fresh fruit sits easily beside the mild goat's milk and the damp-cellar notes of the grey rind. White Cava, Brut and Brut Nature (Reserva and younger), Penedes: Elyssia Gran Cuvee Brut · Cordon Negro Brut
Mató Our pick Unsalted mató invites sweetness, as in honey or jam. This semi-dry Cava has about 37 g/l residual sugar, with ripe pear, quince and a creamy mousse, so it supplies that sweetness while the bubbles lift the soft, granular curd. Semi-dry Cava, Penedes: Carta Nevada Semi-Seco
