Featured This Friday Night
The Wines Of Carlos Serres
5:00 - 8:00 PM - No Charge

Carlos Serres

The First Pioneer

The story of Carlos Serres
is an interesting one.
He was born in France in 1862 and went on to become one of France's best wine consultants.

At the end of the 19th century, the vineyards of France were being devastated by phylloxera, so Carlos set out to find an area outside of France that would be able to produce wines of great quality.

He soon discovered that the area around the city of Haro, Spain had similar geography and climate to that of the best areas in Bordeaux.

In 1896 Bodegas Carlos Serres was founded in Haro, with a focus on a new style of Spanish wine with a Bordeaux influence.

Determined to bring the elegant wines of Rioja to the rest of the world, Carlos Serres was the first Bodegas in Rioja to be registered as an 'export merchant'. CS WAREHOUSE 2

Carlos was the founder of the 'Rioja Wine Exporter's Syndicate', the forerunner of today's 'Consejo Regulador', making him one of the pioneers of the Rioja wines we know today.
