Wines with cheese

Like all things to do with food, the precise matching of cheeses with wine is very subjective, so our advice is to experiment.

One myth is that cheese boards should be accompanied only by heavy reds and ports. However many cheeses combine better with other wines. Here are some rules of thumb which can be useful:

The harder the cheese the higher tannic content the wine can have
For cheese with high salt content consider sweetness over the colour of your wine
Crisper and fruitier wines best partner paler and fresher cheeses
Heavier richer cheeses go well with light reds and chardonnay
Veined cheeses such as stilton accompany sweeter wines
Creamier cheeses require crisper more acidic whites to cut through to the palate
Soft cheeses with rind pair well with full bodied reds with lower tannins or heavy whites
Soft cheeses with white rinds need full bodied whites or younger heavier reds with lower tannins
Semi soft cheeses with a pink or grey rind require full bodied and/or mature whites
