Bodegas Nabal is the fruit of passion and respect for the wine of the Navarro Balbás Family. Family of wine tradition inherited from the history and culture of our land.
Bodegas nabal is located in the heart of the ribera del duero, in the municipality of gumiel de izán, where one of the best vineyards of the entire riverbank is located, and where the grapes from which nabal wines are made come from.Bodegas nabal is based on the belief that great wines begin to be made from the vineyard and that is the reason behind our desire to select a quality grape.
Bodegas Nabal is the new project of the Navarro Balbás family who, after a long business career of more than 20 years as winemakers in Ribera del Duero and promoters of the creation of the D.O. Arlanza with its Lerma wines, have started this important project (Enotourism) in the historic heart of the D.O. Ribera del Duero Gumiel de Izán - Burgos.
The place where the Valley of NABAL is located is one of the most recognized for the quality of its wines from almost century-old vineyards.We can say that it is a project that has been forged from years of experience in the production of D.O. and as a result of a family dream that bets on its terroir.The family shows their preference for high quality and artisanal wines taking care of every detail, from the vineyard to the bottle. History, tradition and vanguard united to shape a family dream that respects the origins and work of their elders.
