Cheese and wine may seem to be perfect partners, but the two clashes almost as often as they hit it off. Each is delicious on its own, but certain wine and cheese pairings are irresistible. Whether you’re heading to a picnic or hosting a movie night, here’s 3 cheese and wine pairings that will help you build the perfect cheese plate.
Rosé + Camembert
Rosé is vibrant and crisp with floral and hints of berries, and it goes well with a variety of cheese. But we’d avoid pairing rosé with pongy cheese as the cheese’s flavour will overpower the wine. Camembert is a naturally buttery cow’s milk cheese with lots of nutty, earthy flavours. These notes are complemented by mineral-driven rosés.

Champagne or Prosecco + Brie
Pairing gooey brie with Champagne is one of life’s tastiest pleasures. In fact, the bubbly acidity complements the rich texture of brie, and it elevates the crisp, layered flavours of the champagne.
We recommend:

Sauvignon Blanc + Gruyère
Gruyère cheese is a medium-hard yellow cheese that is sweet and slightly salty, but it is known to be earthy and nutty in taste with fully aged gruyere. Sauvignon Blanc’s bright and zesty notes complement the mildly nutty and sweet flavour of gruyère cheese while remaining light enough not to overwhelm them.
We recommend:

It’s archetypal Malborough white wine, making it great value for money, as well as a ‘brilliant food wine’.
