Kopke 10 Year Old Tawny Port

Old Winchester is one of the most regal-looking cheeses out there, with an enchanting amber colour just underneath the rind which traverses into a lighter royal honey. With 18 months of ageing, this hard cheese dazzles the tongue with layered flavour and a moreish crunch. Bejewelled with white tyrosine crystals that indicate a well-aged wise cheese, Old Winchester is not only an excellent cheese for your boards but a fantastic British Parmesan alternative that is vegetarian-friendly.

This Italian-inspired hard cheese has a bite to it and a frequent crunch that fires up that well-sought-after itch at the sides of your mouth. Beginning with a familiar cheddar tang, Old Winchester rolls into complex caramel butterscotch sweetness alongside smoky hits, whilst the base tang continues to beat throughout the journey. That journey is satisfyingly long, slowly transcending into a deep savoury broth.

This port pairs well with Old Winchester – nutty depth on both sides, a natural link, and
