Pfalz wine and cheese

Handkäse with Dry white wine (trockener Weißwein)

Local tradition

German Wikipedia says cider is the usual drink with Handkäse, but in some areas, the Palatinate among them, a dry white wine is drunk with it too. The wines listed are dry whites of medium body with high or medium acidity.

Bibeleskäs with Dry Riesling

Our pick

Quark with chives and cream, eaten in the Pfalz with jacket potatoes, is fresh and creamy. A dry Riesling of medium body and high acidity cleans the palate between bites and leaves the chives in front.

Handkäse with Dry Riesling

Our pick

German Wikipedia describes the marinade mit Musik as onions, vinegar and oil. A dry Riesling of medium body and high acidity cuts the oil and meets the vinegar's bite.
