In the glass
Aroma: forest fruit, pine needles, resin, spice
Palate: long, structured, marked character
Purple-ruby with youthful flecks, complex on the nose with forest fruit, pine needles, resin and spice, long and structured in the mouth.
What it pairs with
- Roast venison Pine and resin notes are the classic accompaniment to dark game.
- Beef Wellington Twenty-four months in barrel give the structure for a rich centrepiece.
- Aged Serra da Estrela A marked, structured red needs the region's strongest cheese.
With cheese
Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho
Our pick Velho is strong to slightly strong, lightly peppery and salty, with a persistent aroma. A Touriga Nacional-led Dão red has the structure to hold up beside it, and the salt and aged fat of the cheese take some edge off the wine's grip.
Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho
Our pick Velho is strong, salty and lightly peppery, with a persistent aroma. A Dão Reserva or Grande Reserva red blend, held back for longer ageing before release, has the depth to meet it, and the aged ewe's milk fat softens the wine's tannin.
