Detailed description

Story

“I remember being a child during the long and warm extremeños summers, where I used to wake up very early in the morning. My first glances was always at the winery key. IF THE RED KEY was not in place I knew what it meant : my father was already at the winery. After a fast breakfast and before the complains of my mother, I got my bicycle and in some minutes time I was riding and playing in the winery. So The Red Key represents to me the first memories of the winery during the summers of my childhood.” Carlos Plaza Uñac.

Making and Ageing

Harvest took place the second week of August. After the manual harvesting of grapes, these are taken to the winery in no less than two hours. Because of the high temperatures that are registered at Extremadura, it is no rare to carry out the harvest overnight. The two varieties are separately fermented.
