In the glass
What it pairs with
- Grilled white fish Crisp acidity suits simple grilled fish.
- Alentejo cheese and olives starter A refreshing counterpoint to salty starters.
- Vegetable açorda Bright acidity lifts a bread-and-garlic soup.
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
Ponte Mouchão's white bottling draws on the estate's Antão Vaz, Arinto and Verdelho plantings for an unoaked, early-drinking style.
