Banyuls and Blue Veined Cheese make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
Red · Full · Dry

Why it works with Stilton Blue Veined Cheese
Cab handles aged hard cheeses with structure and grip.
White · Medium · Dry

White · Medium · Dry

Fortified · Full · Sweet

Red · Light · Dry

Why it works with Stilton Blue Veined Cheese
Versatile light red that works across the cheese-board spectrum.
Fortified · Full · Sweet
