In the twentieth century, in 1941, Ramón Nadal Giró founded the Nadal winery with new facilities for winemaking and more land for grape cultivation. This expansion was somewhat limited due to the vast land demand that surged the region at this time sometimes referred toas the “land grab”. Today, in their ancestral home, the Nadal cellar and their cellars are surrounded by over 40 hectares of this winery’s own grapevines. This winery cultivated the
