In the glass
What it pairs with
- Grilled fresh sardines Bright acidity and light body suit oily grilled fish.
- Green salad with goat cheese A crisp white for a fresh starter.
- Seafood cataplana Acidity cuts through a rich shellfish stew.
With cheese
Queijo Serpa
Our pick A young Serpa is buttery and mild, at most slightly picante. A dry white led by Antão Vaz, with or without a touch of oak, has the high acidity to cut through that butter and leaves the ewe's milk flavour clean on the finish.
Queijo de Évora
Our pick Évora is firm, slightly picante and acid. A dry Alentejo white blend made without oak, light to medium in body and fresh, keeps pace with the cheese's tang, and no wood stands between the wine and the ewe's milk.
History
Chaminé Branco is the white counterpart to the estate's entry-level red, blending Antão Vaz with Verdelho and Viognier.
