## Food pairing

The wine's full body and tannins are well-suited to complement the richness and protein of red meats, while its fruit and spice notes can harmonize with herbs and savory elements in dishes. The acidity helps to cut through fattier components, cleansing the palate.

## Wine making process

The winemaking process for Campo Luz Roble begins with a three-day cold maceration, followed by seven to ten days of alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Malolactic fermentation also takes place in these tanks. The wine then undergoes nine months of aging in 225-liter French barriques, with 30% of the barrels being new. Grapes are hand-harvested.
