What it pairs with
- Red meat and roasts The estate names carnes vermelhas e assados directly for this wine at 16C to 18C.
- Roast goat A round Reserva with silky tannin is the regional pairing for roast kid.
- Cured cheese Cocoa and spice give it enough depth for a strong cheese course.
With cheese
Queijo Serra da Estrela Velho
Our pick Velho is strong, salty and lightly peppery with a persistent aroma. A full-bodied Dão red blend, with medium to firm tannin, has the weight to stand beside it, and the cheese's salt and aged fat round 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.
