Great value oak-aged Rioja from Bodegas Carlos Serres in Haro.
Soft, approachable, appealing and aromatic with generous ripe red berry fruit and hints of spice. The palate is light and plummy, gentle and rounded, with a long and juicy finish.
Grapes are sourced from this family company's 200 hectares around Haro and Briones in Rioja Alta and the quality of the range stems from the excellence of the fruit from these vineyards. The first vintage was 2003 and the aim is to produce classic styles of Rioja which combine modern fruit with real substance and quality at sensible prices.
Haro, Rioja, has a climate with Atlantic influences - long, cold winters, warm summers with cooler evenings, plentiful rainfall and a diversity of soils. Grapes grown are a combination of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Mazuelo and Graciano.
Lamb kebabs or Moroccan dishes such as pink lamb, duck breast and game.
