In the glass
Aroma: blackberry, blueberry, menthol, fine spice
Palate: velvety, rich silky tannin, mineral length
Garnet with violet reflections: blackberry and blueberry with menthol and fine spice, velvety and intense in the mouth with a mineral close.
What it pairs with
- Grilled beef picanha Rich silky tannin needs a fatty cut with a salted crust.
- Venison stew The menthol and spice notes are a natural fit for game cooked long with juniper.
- Aged cow's milk cheese A firm cheese lengthens the wine's mineral finish.
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.
