With cheese
Queijo Terrincho
Our pick Young Terrincho is mild and clean, with a slightly unctuous, buttery paste. Mineral, saline Douro whites with racy acidity cut the richness.
Queijo de Cabra Transmontano
Our pick The cheese is extra-hard with a clean flavour and a slightly piquant tang. Mineral, saline Douro whites with racy acidity refresh the palate between pieces.
