In the glass
What it pairs with
- Grilled pork loin Medium body suits simple grilled pork.
- Chorizo and bean stew A food-friendly match for a rustic dish.
- Hard cheese Balanced tannin and fruit complement firm cheese.
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.
