What to pour with their cheese
Handkäse with Dry estate or village Silvaner and Riesling (steel, some with a part in large oak cask)
Local traditionGerman Wikipedia says cider is the usual drink with Handkäse, but in some areas such as Rheinhessen and the Palatinate a dry white wine is drunk with it too. It names no grape; a dry Silvaner or Riesling suits the sharp onion marinade.
Mainzer Käse with Dry Silvaner (steel, some with a part in large oak cask)
Our pickHandkäs mit Musik is lean, salty and sharp with vinegar and onion, and a dry Silvaner with medium acidity stays out of the marinade's way.
Mainzer Käse with Dry estate or village Riesling (steel, some with a part in large oak cask)
Our pickGerman Wikipedia says Mainzer Käse is served as Handkäs mit Musik, marinated in vinegar, wine, oil and onions; a dry estate or village Riesling's high acidity can match the marinade.
