More information about La Llave Roja 8 meses
Winemaker Carlos Plaza is one of the rising stars of the wildly romantic Extremadura in southwestern Spain. Carlos goes with his wines new innovative ways without forgetting his origin.
The grapes for La Llave Roja 8 meses come from the best plots of the winery. They are harvested at night to avoid the heat of the day and thus obtain grapes in perfect condition for processing in the cellar.
Here a spontaneous fermentation takes place, exclusively with natural yeasts of the own vineyard. After fermentation, each grape variety is individually placed in barrique barrels to age for 8 months before the final cuvée is assembled by Carlos.
This blend of Tempranillo, Merlot and Syrah was able to capture plenty of Extremadura sunshine and delights with fresh fruit of raspberries and cherries accompanied by light oak and tobacco notes. Smooth soft with silky tannins, well structured and enormously appealing, this drop is a real all-round wine for almost all occasions.

Bodegas Carlos Plaza
Our winery is located on the outskirts of a remote village called Cortegana, in the province of Badajoz, between the towns of Almendralejo, Badajoz and Mérida, which has only 300 inhabitants. We are surrounded by vineyards and olive groves that shine in silent tranquility. Sometimes you can hear the rattle of the vineyard workers' tractors as they make their way to their vines, as well as the barking of the dogs that faithfully accompany them along the way. Our winery, which presents a peaceful image with its traditional architecture, is equipped with the most modern technology for the production and bottling of wines. With its simple appearance, it strives to surprise with its wines. The landscape, the climate, the warmth of the sun on our faces, the sweat on our foreheads and the cold in our fingers are all imbued with the spirit of Extremadura. This offers us a glimpse into the...
