Today, the estate cultivates its own vineyards in Haro, the heart of the Rioja Alta, on calcareous-clay soils known for their elegance rather than power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In Rioja, the Gran Reserva designation legally requires a minimum of 60 months of aging – part of it in oak barrels, the rest in the bottle. At Serres, the wine is traditionally aged in American oak, which gives the Tempranillo its characteristic profile: \u003cstrong\u003edried cherry and plum\u003c\/strong\u003e , along with vanilla, leather, and a hint of tobacco. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with silky tannins thanks to the extended bottle aging, balanced acidity, and a warm, lingering finish with clove and cedar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDishes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Leg of lamb with rosemary, Ibérico ham, aged Manchego cheese or braised beef cheeks\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16–18 °C, preferably open an hour beforehand\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDrinking window:\u003c\/strong\u003e ready to drink now, will keep for another 5–8 years\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BODEGAS CARLOS SERRES, S.L.","offers":[{"title":"2017","offer_id":53109270544720,"sku":"VW10083","price":14.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/carlos_serres_gran_reserva_product_ed445ccb-56f8-4d71-9678-dd5fef42b7d7.webp?v=1780585344","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/products\/carlos-serres-gran-reserva","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
