Rheingau wine and cheese

Spundekäs with Dry white wine (light to medium-bodied dry Rheingau Riesling)

Local tradition

German Wikipedia says Spundekäs is classically eaten with white wine and served in practically every wine house and Straußwirtschaft of the Rheingau. It names no grape; these dry Rieslings, light to medium in body, are our examples, their high acidity cutting the cream and onion.

Hessischer Handkäse with Dry Rheingau Riesling (light to medium-bodied)

Our pick

Apple wine is the usual drink with Handkäse, and German Wikipedia names dry white wine for areas such as Rheinhessen and the Palatinate. A dry, high-acid Riesling meets the onion and vinegar marinade with acidity of its own.

Spundekäs with Fruity Rheingau Riesling (Kabinett or Spätlese)

Our pick

Rheingau.de, the region's tourism site, says Spundekäs goes perfectly with a fruity Rheingau Riesling. In these off-dry and medium-sweet wines, fruit and a little sweetness soften the raw onion and spice, and racy acidity cuts the butter and cream.
