The best wines for fondue and raclette
There is nothing like a fondue evening or a raclette party in a merry circle. A harmonious wine is the be-all and end-all. But which one goes best? White or red? From here or internationally? With our tips, you're sure to get it right.
The Noble
With mild, melted cheese we recommend a dry white wine. For example, this powerful, spicy Grand Cru from Lavaux. It takes the raclette evening to the next level.
The lively one
If you like it tangy, you can also serve a mild red wine with your raclette. With «wine simply fine», the name says it all - it's a great match for a sociable raclette get-together.
The special one
Those who like to refine their fondue with truffles should definitely try the Barbera d'Alba Elena with it! The mild red wine has itself fine truffle aromas and harmonizes perfectly
The Traditional one
One of the most popular fondue recipes is Moitié-Moitié, made with Vacherin and Gruyère. And what goes best with the French-Swiss classic? A Chasselas from Vaud, of course!
The crisp one
If you want to bring some variety into the fondue, e.g. with exotic spices, you can also think outside the box when it comes to wine. This organic Chardonnay from Austria is guaranteed to cut a fine figure.
The exclusive one
If you want to turn the fondue evening into a gala dinner, refine the cheese mixture with fresh herbs and serve your guests Sauternes from Château Lafaurie Peyraguey - guaranteed 5 stars!
