In the glass
What it pairs with
- Grilled chourico A juicy, medium-bodied red for cured sausage.
- Roast chicken Soft tannins suit simple roasted poultry.
- Alentejo tomato and bread salad Bright fruit for a rustic vegetable dish.
With cheese
Queijo Serpa
Our pick Serpa's buttery, mild paste softens the tannin of a dry red blend of Aragonez and Trincadeira. The lighter, briefly oaked bottles suit a young wheel; the full-bodied, oak-aged reservas want a cheese with more age to hold its own.
Queijo de Évora
Our pick Évora is a small, firm ewe's cheese, slightly picante and acid, more so in the hard paste. A medium-bodied Alentejo red with moderate tannin refreshes the mouth between slices without laying a heavy tannic coat over the cheese.
History
Ponte Mouchão was introduced as a more approachable, earlier-release red alongside the estate's long-aged flagship.
