The wine's medium+ body and savory tannins are well-suited to complement the richness of red meats and pork. The concentrated fruit notes can stand up to hearty dishes, while herbal undertones in the wine can echo those found in roasted meats or stews.

## Wine making process

The SA NATURA Red 2020 is produced using organically grown grapes. Each varietal in the blend is fermented separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Following fermentation, the wine is aged for 12 to 13 months in French oak barrels. The harvest typically occurs in early October.
