Carlos Serres, owned by the Vivanco family, is a century-old winery that preserves its founder’s historical and traditional heritage. This Tempranillo, with a splash of Graciano, instantly reveals complex aromas of rose petals, red plums, baking spices, and cedar. It glides across the palate with black cherry, plum, ripe raspberry, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and balsamic notes. It’s an easy-to-drink snapshot of Rioja with a sleek and polished palate and fine-grained tannins.
