Tempranillo is the Spanish grape par excellence, altought nowadays it is being extensively cultivated all over the world.

Altough it behaves really well as a monovarietal, we have choosen to blend it with two foreign varieties whose characteristics and needs make the soil and climate of Extremadura an ideal place to be grown.
Syrah varietal adapts itself exceptionally well to dry areas of the Spanish peninsula, moreover, it loves sun and heat, so, with no doubt, Extremadura region in general and Tierra de Barros in particular is more than a perfect area to cultivate this varietal. Syrah grape adds to our Tempranillo color intensity and complexity of aromas and flavours.
Alcoholic Degree: 13.5%

As a child, during the warm summers in Extremadura,I used to wake up early in the morning.
My first glance would always go to the placewhere the “RED KEY” used to hang.
If the key was not there,that would mean that my father was already working.
After a quick breakfast I would quickly bike to the winery.The RED KEY means for me, therefore, the earliest memory of
all those days spent in the winery during my childhood.
