In the glass
What it pairs with
- Alentejo black pork secretos Full body and firm tannin cut through fat.
- Slow-roasted lamb A classic pairing for a structured red.
- Aged cheese Firm tannin needs a rich, mature cheese.
With cheese
Queijo Serpa
Our pick Serpa's buttery, mild paste softens the tannin of a dry red blend of Aragonez and Trincadeira. The lighter, briefly oaked bottles suit a young wheel; the full-bodied, oak-aged reservas want a cheese with more age to hold its own.
Queijo de Nisa
Our pick Nisa is firm and slightly acid with an intense aroma, and it is made in the same Portalegre district as these reds. Their structure, from medium to full, matches the firm paste, and the cheese's fat softens the tannin.
History
