Now, let’s take a look at the classic ways to pair wine with cheese below and why and why these can make a great and perfect pairing. So that the next time, when combining, you will no longer be confused and doubtful about the taste and taste when combining drinking with cheese.
Tip #1: How to pair wine and cheese with equal flavor intensity
This is the most important tip when you are working on wine and cheese pairings. The delicate flavors of the Gruyère cheese will be overpowered by Cabernet Sauvignon but are so much perfectly balanced when paired with the Pinot Noir range .
As a general rule:
Wines with an alcohol content of more than 14.5% ABV taste bolder and taste better when paired with more intensely flavored cheeses.
Wines with an alcohol content of less than 12% ABV have less alcohol and should pair well with more delicately flavored cheeses.
Tip #2: Strong-tasting red wines pair best with aged cheeses
Aged cheeses will lose the water content in the cheese, thereby helping the flavor to be more intense, the fat content is also significantly increased. Red wines are best paired with aged cheeses, because the high fat content in the cheese softens the high tannins in the wine. For best results, choose cheeses that are at least a year old, including Cheddar, Gruyère, Manchego, Gouda, Provolone, or Parmesan-style varieties like Parmigiano-Reggiano and Grana Padano.
Tip #3: A delightful combination of sweet wine and cheese
Sweeter wines such as Moscato, Gewürztraminer, Late Harvest and Port dessert wines pair well with cheeses that are bold, washed, and have blue veins in the cheese. Why call these interesting wine and cheese combinations? Because the sweetness in the wine helps to balance the cheese and make it more creamy. In addition, the unpleasant smell of cheese will help balance the sweetness of the wine.
Two classic pairings that you must try if you like pungent, foul-smelling cheeses are Port with Stilton and Sauternes with Roquefort. Extremely delicious!
Tip #4: Sparkling wine paired with soft cream cheese creates a taste surprise
Sparkling wines are highly acidic and carbonated, providing a palate-cleansing effect on creamy, sticky cheeses such as Brie, Cremont or Époisses de Bourgogne, Muenster or Camembert.
Tip #5: Wine and cheese from the same place of production when combined create very satisfying flavors
Usually, you will be very trusting in local traditions and pairing wines and cheeses from the same region. Some good examples of this include Sauvignon Blanc with Goat Cheese (Loire Valley, France), Chardonnay with Époisses de Bourgogne (Burgundy, France) and Garnacha with Manchego ( Spain).
Tip #6: When in doubt and unsure of which cheese to choose, get a cheese that has a rich flavor and solid shape
In some large parties, with so many wines on offer, you’ll be confused as to which cheese to pair with. Here’s the safest way to pair wine with cheese: choose a wine pairing with rich cheeses. Full-fat cheese will soften the bitterness of the tannins in red wine, but be subtle enough to make a meal delicious and complete. A few examples include Swiss, Gruyère, Abbaye de Belloc, Comté Extra, Emmental and Gouda.
