The association of vintage port with a mature blue cheese such as Gorgonzola or Stilton is one of the great classic food and wine combinations. The soft buttery texture, mellow character and slight piquancy of the cheese are perfectly matched by the powerful majestic flavours of the vintage port.

LBV makes an excellent match for a goat’s milk cheese, such as a Caprino or Sainte-Maure. As the thick crumbly texture of the goat’s cheese dissolves in contact with the wine, the ripe and opulent fruitiness of the LBV merges with the rich tangy flavours of the cheese in a sublime synergy.

Vibrant & fruity Fonseca terra prima is an elegant reserve port, perfect accompaniment for rich, savoury & creamy cheeses.

Bin 27 pairs beautifully with the full flavour and rich creaminess of cheeses such as Taleggio or redolent Pont l’Evêque.
