In the glass
Aroma: very ripe red fruit, toasted notes, dried fruit
Palate: dense fruit weight, roasted depth
Intense in very ripe red fruit with toasted and dried-fruit notes, the Grande Reserva red of a Nelas estate.
What it pairs with
- Roast suckling pig Toasted, dried-fruit depth is what a fatty roast asks for.
- Beef stew with chestnuts Very ripe red fruit and roasted notes run alongside the chestnut sweetness.
- Aged ewe's cheese A Grande Reserva has the tannin for a strong cured 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.
