About Adrián Alonso El Serbal Paraje la Santa

J.K. Rowling penned the initial chapters of Harry Potter in the cafés of Edinburgh, surrounded by cold cups and grand dreams. She lived on social benefits, and her manuscript was rejected by a dozen publishers before someone believed in her story. Today, her books are read in every corner of the globe. Her success was not a matter of luck, but of perseverance, of that quiet determination that drives one to continue when nothing seems easy.

Similarly, Adrián Alonso, a young agri-food engineer from Burgos, after studying Oenology and Viticulture at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, decided to return to his homeland, Arlanza, in Burgos (Castilla y León) to create his own project.
Indeed, El Serbal was born more out of enthusiasm than resources. He had no winery of his own, nor equipment. Just some old vineyards, countless hours of labour, and the conviction that Arlanza held untapped potential. Reviving forgotten vineyards, producing without resources, learning through trial and error... these were his opening chapters.

But, as in every good story, persistence bears fruit. Over time, Adrián has managed to establish his own production facility, incorporate machinery, see his wines recognised by critics and influencers, and secure a place in prestigious distributors.
It is, without a doubt, a success.

His wine, Adrián Alonso El Serbal Paraje la Santa, is a testament to that hard-earned maturity. It comes from old bush-trained vineyards in dry-farmed conditions, planted on a northeast-facing slope at 990 metres altitude, surrounded by forests of pines, holm oaks, and rowans—the magical tree that lends its name to the project.

The soils, sandy-loam with deep limestone, compel the roots to struggle, and that struggle translates into character. The grapes of tempranillo, garnacha, and other white varieties are partially destemmed, some are trodden, and the malolactic fermentation occurs in used 600-litre barrels, where the wine then ages for 13 months. Finally, it is bottled without fining or filtering, preserving its full authenticity.

Adrián Alonso El Serbal Paraje la Santa is a profound, sincere wine with soul. Because, in the end, as with any great endeavour, the most compelling stories often begin the same way: with someone who refuses to give up.

2023

El Serbal Paraje la Santa 2023 is a wine that captures the essence of its origin with an irresistible personality. On the nose, it unfolds an aromatic spectrum that includes ripe blackberries and a hint of liquorice, complemented by a herbaceous freshness that makes it very appealing. Upon tasting, its structure stands out with a medium to full body that feels robust and vibrant. The tannins are gentle on the palate and blend perfectly with an acidity that imparts liveliness. It is an ideal wine for those seeking complexity and elegance in every sip, characterised by exquisite minerality and balance.
