Cavas Nadal

Long-established as one of the Penedes wine region’s best Cava producers, Nadal is privy to a remarkable history. An ancient parchment records that the Nadal family have been working the land in Sant Sadurni D’Anoia since the 16th century, managing to even make wine during the terrible conflict that raged during the Spanish Civil War 1936-39.

Yet Nadal’s true winemaking tradition owes its origins to one man – Ramon Nadal Giro. In 1941, Giro replanted his ancient family vineyards on the site of an airfield, hoping to forge a new path and build a brighter future out of the ashes of the phylloxera epidemic and the Spanish Civil War. Sensing the region’s great potential for quality sparkling winemaking, Giro completed construction of a winery in 1943 and began Cava production that year.

Today the Nadal family continues to follow its founder’s philosophy, producing superlative artisan Cavas in the heart of the Sant Sadurni region. Each successive generation has left its mark, but the original mantra of Ramon Giro remains intact – respect for the land and terroir. Indeed, terroir is at the very heart of the matter – committed to indigenous varieties’ cultivation, Nadal controls a mosaic of different vineyards, each with its own unique characteristics. This enables winemaker Xavier to craft different wine styles, adding generous complexity and depth to the final product. Cava, ladies and gentlemen, does not get much better than this.
