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.
- Serpa cheese Balanced tannin and fruit complement a semi-soft local 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.
History
Herdade dos Cotéis works 23 hectares of vines on the left bank of the Guadiana near Moura, alongside olive groves and Serpa cheese production.
