Carlos Serres Crianza

A classic Rioja Crianza that shows why this region has stood for approachable, well-crafted red wines for decades — fruity and spicy, with the typical vanilla note from American oak.

Bodegas Carlos Serres is one of the oldest wineries in Haro, the historic center of the Rioja Alta. Founded in 1896, the winery works with Tempranillo and Garnacha grapes from its own and purchased vineyards—a tradition that gives the wine its reliable style.

In the glass, the Crianza displays ripe blackberry and plum, underpinned by vanilla and a hint of coconut from aging in American oak barrels. The body is medium-bodied, the tannins soft and well-integrated after the required minimum of twelve months of barrel aging. The finish is warm and briefly spicy.
