Carlos Serres, one of Rioja’s most celebrated and historic producers has joined LWC’s award-winning wine portfolio.
LWC will now exclusively distribute six of the producer’s extensive range to its on-trade customers, including its Rosé, Organic Tempranillo, Crianza, Reserva, and Gran Reserva.
Founded by Charles (Carlos) Serres upon his arrival from Bordeaux in 1896, Carlos Serres is a traditional Rioja winery and one of very few wineries founded in the 19th century that is still in operation today. Created in Haro’s historic Railway Station District, an area with the largest concentration of centenary wineries in the world, today the Vivanco family continues to drive the legacy and heritage of its founder across the world.
Frances Bentley, Wine Buyer for LWC commented: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome the magnificent Carlos Serres to the LWC wine portfolio.
“Steeped in history and tradition, Carlos Serres is a real powerhouse and icon of Rioja. With over 125 years in winemaking, this is a producer that carries great influence over the winemaking world.
“From the offset, there was a lot that drew us to Carlos Serres. From its incredible wines and reputation to its copious international awards, stand out labels and core family values, so many boxes were ticked. However, one thing that really shone through for us was its sustainability credentials. The winery’s commitment to innovation, eco-friendly viticulture, and organically farmed vineyards is clear to see in the Rioja Alta subregion. Carlos Serres incorporates sustainability into all areas of production, and this is something LWC holds in high esteem.
“With a vast roster of LWC tradeshows and tasting events taking place across the country in 2025, we can’t wait to get these incredible wines into the hands of our customers. But for those that simply can’t wait until the new year, our depots are stocked, and our Wine Development Managers are on hand!”
