Carlos Serres Gran Reserva 2017 is a traditional Rioja red combining Tempranillo with Graciano and Mazuelo, followed by extended aging in oak and bottle.

The wine shows mature cherry, plum and dried cranberry, followed by orange peel, cedar, vanilla, clove and a subtle leather note. The palate is dry and savory, with balanced acidity, fine tannins and a smooth texture that reflects the wine’s extended maturation.

This is a classic style of Gran Reserva: less about ripe fruit and more about the complexity that develops through long aging. The combination of red fruit, spice, balsamic notes and gentle earthy character makes it especially appealing for customers who enjoy traditional Rioja.

Food Pairing: Pair with roast lamb, braised beef, game, pork, Ibérico ham, mushroom dishes, or aged Manchego.

Serve around 60–64°F. A short 30-minute decant is enough if opening now.
