A tasting panel from White Haven Wines, have paired our cheeses with a variety of their wines. Below are their recommendations.
Kaimai Brie
- Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc 2013
- Whitehaven Riesling 2012
This cheese was very delicate so the wine it is paired to
needs to be rather light as to not overwhelm the cheese. We would not recommend
red wine with this.
Kaimai Camembert
- Whitehaven Pinot Gris 2013
- Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc
2013
Kaimai Double Cream Camembert
- Whitehaven Chardonnay
2013
- Whitehaven Pinot Noir 2012
This cheese was so delicious, one of the crowd
favourites! So luscious and creamy, highlighted with complex earthy and nutty
notes.
Kaimai Creamy Blue
- Whitehaven Chardonnay
2013
- Whitehaven Riesling 2012
This was a match made in heaven with the Chardonnay, but
also lovely with the dessert wines as well.
Kaimai Crumbly Blue
- Whitehaven Noble Riesling 2013
Kaimai Washed Rouge
- Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc 2013
This one is really not good with a Chardonnay, it makes
both the cheese and the wine taste unappealing.
