Carlos Serres

Established in 1896 by Frenchman Carlos Serres, the winery is one of the longest established houses in Rioja and was key to the development and success of the region.

 

The winery to this day respects the legacy of its founder. Concrete tanks protect the fruit characters and expressions of each wine with the continuous micro-oxygenation produced by their natural porosity. The Bordeaux style, established by Carlos Serres, is still evident in the wines today and comes from using a combination of French and American oak barrels.
