What it pairs with
- Grilled beef Touriga and Tinta Roriz co-fermented in granite is a structured combination that wants a plain grilled cut.
- Roast game bird Fourteen months in older French oak gives frame without masking the bird.
- Hard sheep's cheese Tinta Roriz at 40 percent is the Iberian link to a firm 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.
