In the glass
Aroma: red fruits, toasted notes, some black fruit
Palate: very balanced, round tannin, prolonged finish
Garnet, from selected Quinta do Paço fruit given a year in French oak: red fruits with a toasted edge and some black fruit, balanced with round tannin.
What it pairs with
- Roast lamb Round tannin and a prolonged finish frame lamb cleanly.
- Grilled beef with smoked salt The toasted note from the barrel meets char on the meat.
- Aged Serra da Estrela cheese The estate is in the Serra, and the local aged cheese needs the wine's balance rather than power.
With cheese
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.
Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho
Our pick Velho is strong, salty and lightly peppery, with a persistent aroma. A Dão Reserva or Grande Reserva red blend, held back for longer ageing before release, has the depth to meet it, and the aged ewe's milk fat softens the wine's tannin.
