Franken wine and cheese

Obazda with Dry village and estate Silvaner

Our pick

A dry, medium-bodied Silvaner with medium acidity is an easy partner for a paprika-seasoned spread at a Brotzeit: it has enough freshness for the butter and does not compete with the spice. German Wikipedia says Franconian cooks add wine to the spread itself.

4.2 Creutz Silvaner Weingut Zehnthof Luckert 4.1 VINZ Alte Reben Silvaner Weingut Am Stein (Ludwig Knoll) 4.0 Würzburger Silvaner Trocken Weingut Juliusspital 4.0 Silvaner Retzstadt Weingut Rudolf May

Obazda with Dry Riesling (estate to premier-cru)

Our pick

Dry Riesling with high acidity and a light to medium body: the acidity cuts the butter and soft cheese of the spread, and the lean frame leaves the paprika in front.

4.4 Würzburger Stein Riesling VDP.Erste Lage Weingut Buergerspital zum Heiligen Geist 4.3 Escherndorfer Lump Riesling Weingut Egon Schaeffer 4.3 Escherndorfer Lump Riesling Weingut Zur Schwane 4.2 Casteller Hohnart Riesling Trocken Fuerstlich Castell'sches Domaenenamt

Obazda with Dry Silvaner, Riesling and Weissburgunder blend

Our pick

A dry three-grape white of Silvaner, Riesling and Weissburgunder from premier-cru sites, medium-bodied with medium acidity and a long finish; a rounder, more layered partner for the spread than a simple Silvaner.
