The Nadal family has been dedicated, since 1510, to the cultivation of grapes and the production of wines on the Nadal de la Boadella Estate. During the years of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), the Nadal vineyard had been expropriated so as to construct a Republican aerodame, but when it was regained by the family after the war, Ramon Nadal Giró decided to abandon the production of wine spirit, to open the way for the creation of sparkling wines with native varieties grown on the estate. It was in 1943 that the first bottle of Nadal Brut came into being.
