PARTY CASE WINES
Included in our case of natural wine to pair with the raclette party is 4 bottles of each of the following:
-
Tradicional Brut Rose Clos Lentiscus - Aged bubbles from "The Bubble Man" himself! Lively and powerful with pleasant bubbles. Super fresh with Mediterranean notes of ripe fruit. Bubbles are ALWAYS a good choice for raclette.
-
Frei Korper Kultur - You might not think of Germany for a raclette pairing, but this is THE best red you could possibly put with this spread. A dark but still light liter bottle of fruity goodness from the Rheinhessen. The nose is vibrant with red cherry and hints of rhubarb. Quite light yet still very acidic and lively. Perfect for sharing!
- White MSM Vivanterre - The hype is real and justified with these collab wines via Patrick Bouju! This White MSM explodes with citrus, specifically lemon zest and Meyer lemon. Made with 100% Melon de Bourgogne grapes, this wine spends time underground in glass globes where natural fermentation and the elevage occurred. Perfect still white for this party!
AGAIN, don't forget to purchase the rest of the set separately from Jasper Hill, outlined below!

About Natural Wine
Great question! There are a lot of definitions for natural wine with the main term you'll hear being that it has had minimal intervention. To be more specific, our definition is that the wine must first be sustainably farmed, which typically means it was organically or biodynamically farmed.
Then, in the cellar the natural winemaking process has some differences as well! The wine is typically unfined, unfiltered, and goes through spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. If you want to know more about what natural wine is, we have an entire guide under our reference section!
The short answer is that natural wine can taste like any other kind of conventional wine (we like to call these stealth natural wines) or it can taste quite a bit different, as production methods can vary and potentially be lighter, or in a style you've never had before (like orange, pet-nat or amphora).
The natural wine community is also more accepting of some qualities in wines that conventional would consider a flaw, like Brett, some oxidation, or volatile acidity. We would consider these in high amounts to also be a flaw, but in many cases a touch of these qualities can ultimately improve their flavor and texture and be happily accepted in a natural wine.

The short answer is, no! But many are. Glou-glou describes winesthat are easily chuggable, impossible to put the glass down, and seductively delicious! They tend to be young and fresh, designed to be drunk early with an average ABV of around 10%. Check out different styles or glou glou natural wine here on our site.
