Wine & Cheese Matching

Wine and cheese go hand in hand, but some types of cheeses definitely make a better companion to certain wines. To show just how good wines and cheeses can go together, we’ve selected five superb cheeses and matched them to wines from our Oxenberry Premium Range.

The types of cheeses and wines we’ll be offering for the tasting will change from time to time, but currently we are used the following:

• The Sermon Tree Pinot Grigio – Mothais sur Feuille (Goat’s cheese from France)
• Jack Of All Trades Tempranillo – Pont L’Eveque (washed rind cow’s cheese from France)
• Blackfellows Well Shiraz Grenache – Herve Mons (Sheep’s milk cheese from France)
• The Star Of Greece Shiraz - L’Etivaz Gruyere – (Cow’s milk hard cheese from Switzerland)
• The Right Nut Liqueur Muscat – Roquefort (Sheep’s milk blue vein cheese from France)

A great pairing of wine and cheese should leave you with lingering flavours of both the wine and the cheese in a harmonious balance, with neither dominating. If you are a lover of cheese, we strongly encourage you to try the Wine & Cheese Tasting next time you visit Oxenberry Farm as it really is a fantastic ‘education’ of your palate and a great treat for the senses.

The Wine & Cheese Matching Tasting is $15 and includes full tasting notes.
