Welke wijn bij kaas? Rode en witte wijn die perfect passen

A good cheese board calls for a wine that complements the meal: refreshing with creaminess, smooth with saltiness, and elegant with maturity. But which wine should you choose with cheese? At Hunwijn, we like to keep things simple: high-quality bottles that work without fuss. Below, you'll find three wines—two white and one red—that demonstrate how small choices can create great tasting pleasure. Whether you're looking for white wine to pair with cheese, red wine to pair with cheese, or unsure which wine pairs well with blue cheese, this selection will have you covered in style and confidence.


Rheingau-Riesling: fresh, precise and great with goat's and blue cheese

This Riesling from the Rauenthaler Steinmächer delivers exactly what you want with cheese: crisp acidity, citrus and peach notes, plus a salty minerality that lightens the creaminess. With goat cheese (fresh or lightly aged), the freshness provides balance, while the ripe fruit beautifully enhances the cheese's soft spiciness. Not sure which wine pairs well with blue cheese? Feel free to choose this style: the vibrant acidity and fruit contrast pleasantly with salt and spice, giving everything a rounder flavor. Also delicious with white mold (Brie, Camembert) or a young, creamy Gouda. Serving suggestion: 8–10°C (46–50°F), and pour a little more generously with more intense cheeses to allow the wine to breathe freely. This way, a wine for cheese remains clear, refreshing, and surprisingly refined.

Juicy Chardonnay from Spain: creamy and refreshing for soft cow's milk cheeses

This Correcto Chardonnay (12%) boasts sunny stone fruit, a soft texture, and just the right amount of freshness to complement creamy cheeses without overpowering them. Think Brie, Camembert, creamy Brie, or young to semi-mature Gouda: the wine complements the creaminess, while the acidity keeps it elegant and drinkable. For those looking for a white wine to pair with cheese that's accessible yet not heavy, this is a surefire choice. It also balances beautifully with mild goat's Brie and semi-soft redflora (lightly washed rind). The vegan winery is a plus here: pure, modern, and flavorful. Serve around 10–12°C. Pair with nuts, apple, or honey on the board for added harmony and let the cheese take center stage—the Chardonnay accompanies it with style.

Elegant Pinot Noir: the red answer to 'which cheese goes with red wine?'

Pinot Noir from Beaune is known for its finesse: red fruit, floral notes, and supple tannins. Just what you're looking for when pairing red wine with cheese. So, which cheese pairs best with red wine? Go for nutty, semi-hard cheeses like Comté, Gruyère, or young to semi-mature Beemster: the wine's soft structure embraces the saltiness and umami without becoming bitter. Even with Tomme or a mild red floral, the fruit remains pure. Avoid very spicy blue mold or extremely aged, salty cheeses—they are more likely to require white wine or a sweeter profile. Serve slightly chilled (14–16°C) for maximum freshness. The result: a red wine that doesn't overpower the cheese, but instead softens and lengthens the conversation at the table.
