Cheese and Wine Pairing Guide

Not sure which wine to serve with your favourite cheese? Then here’s the guide for you. From rich reds and crisp whites to sparkling wines and tawny ports, our hand-picked pairings will unlock a new world of flavour. 

Black Bomber and Montes Alpha Colchagua Carmenère

This smooth Chilean red complements the rich tanginess of our signature extra mature Cheddar. Black Bomber's intensity and creaminess balance the wine’s notes of ripe black fruits for a flavour pairing that slowly unfolds with satisfying depth.

Rock Star and David Moret Auxey-Duresses 2021

Our vintage cave-aged Cheddar, with its creamy texture and deeply savoury notes, makes an excellent partner for this citrusy Chardonnay. The wine’s crisp acidity cuts through the cheese’s celebrated richness for a harmonious match that lingers deliciously on the palate.

Red Storm and Château Macquin Saint-Georges-Saint-Émilion

The nutty, caramel notes of our vintage Red Leicester are beautifully complemented by this ruby-red Merlot blend. The wine’s silky tannins and notes of sweet red fruits, tobacco and graphite highlight the cheese’s complex profile in this sophisticated and well-balanced pairing.

Truffle Trove and Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut NV Champagne

The luxuriously earthy flavours of our extra mature Cheddar with Black Summer truffle are a match made in heaven for this pale-gold champagne’s notes of fresh hazelnuts and lemon. The wine’s crisp bubbles and light zestiness provide a refreshing contrast to the cheese’s richness, while the Italian truffles add depth and complexity.

Ruby Mist and Warre’s Otima 10 Year Old Tawny Port

Our luscious mature Cheddar, infused with warming port and brandy, has a richness and silky-smooth texture that pair perfectly with the complex, full-bodied flavour of this exemplary tawny port. Served slightly chilled, Warre’s Otima’s notes of caramel, raspberry and dried fruit chime charmingly with this decadent dessert cheese, making it an ideal after-dinner duo.
