Why You Should Explore Wine & Cheese Pairings
You could always enjoy these cheeses alone or with some simple crackers, but why not see the best wines to pair with these artisan cheeses for a premium experience. But have you ever wondered why cheese and wine pair so perfectly? Read on to discover the reasons!
1. Flavour Balance
Wine and cheese both have complicated flavour profiles that can either complement or contrast with each other. The acidity in wine can cut through the richness of cheese, while the creaminess of cheese can soften the tannins in red wine, creating a balanced tasting experience.
2. Texture Contrast
The smoothness of wine contrasts in a satisfying way with the various textures of cheese, from soft and creamy to hard and crumbly.
3. Aroma Synergy
Both wine and cheese have distinct smells that can heavily compliment one another. The aromas of the wine can bring out specific notes in the cheese, and vice versa.
4. Best Wine & Cheese Pairings
Cheddars: Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec
The punchy flavours of Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec pair perfectly with the sharpness of aged cheddar, creating a satisfying pairing.
Blues Cheeses: Port
The sweetness of a good quality Port balances the intense saltiness blue cheese, enhancing its strong flavours for a flavour explosion.
Brie: Chardonnay or Sparkling Wine
A buttery Chardonnay or a refreshing sparkling wine is the perfect friend for the creamy texture of brie, working together without overshadowing each flavour.
Wensleydales: Pinot Grigio or Riesling
The fruity notes of Pinot Grigio or the sweetness of Riesling are the very best pair for a crumbly Wensleydale’s mild.
