The acidity provides a refreshing counterpoint to fatty dishes, while the fruit-forward character can echo or contrast with elements in the food, such as herbs or fruit-based sauces.

## Wine making process

Château Pech-Latt Terres Mûres undergoes a long vinification process with a 20-day vatting period. Fermentation takes place at 27°C to maximize color and aroma extraction.
