Description

I have been recently made redundant so at the moment going through a clear out of stuff I no longer need (have the time for a proper 'Spring Clean' :) ) in order to raise some much needed funds!

I bought a few cases of some very vintage rioja from a wine auction in March and because of Covid it took over 3 months to be delivered from the Bonded Warehouse.

I am planning to sell a few bottles of each case but plan to keep the majority to drink as I am a massive rioja fan and been there many times.

The bottle is in excellent condition for its age of over 42 years with good fill-level and good labels. 1978 for riojas is also known as a very good year.

I have only been able to find one bottle similar to this selling for about 108 Euros.

We all know the regulations of Rioja wines today. Young, Crianza, Reserva
and Gran Reserva wines have merged and built that proprietary style which
consumers identify as Rioja. Following the Rioja example, many wine regions
have adopted these labels or categories for their wines with the sole purpose
of setting this classification in the mind of consumers. It is also true that, less
than fifty years ago, wineries, particularly historical eighteenth-century firms
like Carlos Serres, used a different nomenclature to reflect the character of their
wines and the length of their stay in the winery. So, there used to be Carlos
Serres ‘Segundo Año’, ‘Tercer Año’ and ‘Quinto Año’ (5 Ano), categories denoting wines
in their second, third and fifth year which, years later, migrated to what today
are known as ‘Crianza’, ‘Reserva’ and ‘Gran Reserva’

Again I hope someone will get to enjoy this.

Many thanks!
