What it pairs with

- Oysters A mineral white built for shellfish.
- Fish stew Weight and acidity carry through a brothy fish dish.
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 Serpa Velho
Our pick Past 180 days Serpa Velho is hard, dry and intense, with a lingering flavour. A dry white fermented or aged wholly or partly in oak has the extra texture to stand beside it, and its acidity cuts the fat of the aged ewe's milk.
History
The Salino wines are Cortes de Cima's coastal-influenced expressions, sourced from a vineyard planted near the Atlantic where sea breezes bring a distinct salinity.
