Cheese Pairing

Pairing Notes

Wines that will work best with garlic and pepper cheddar are fruit-forward, with deep, concentrated flavours. Our favourite grape to pair with this cheese is Merlot, which emphasizes the garlic and pepper cheddar's sharp and tangy flavours. When paired with the Merlot, the cheese brings out notes of black cherry, plum, and black spice.

The herbal garlic flavours are more heavily emphasized because of the Merlot's dry fruitiness. The best examples of these wines come from the Bordeaux region in France and the Napa Valley in California. The luscious black fruits aromas and underlying green herbaceous notes are classic trademarks of these wine, making it a bold and confident choice for this cheddar.
