Rheinhessen wine and cheese

Spundekäs with Dry estate or village Silvaner and Riesling (steel, some with a part in large oak cask)

Local tradition

German Wikipedia says Spundekäs is classically eaten with white wine, so Rheinhessen wine houses and Straußwirtschaften serve it. It names no grape; a dry Silvaner or Riesling, with medium to high acidity, runs against the cream quark and paprika.

Handkäse with Dry estate or village Silvaner and Riesling (steel, some with a part in large oak cask)

Local tradition

German 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 pick

Handkäs 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.
