The winery

Who we are

Abadal was created with the idea of nurturing and enhancing Bages’ enormous potential as a wine region. Abadal’s wines transmit the spirit and personality of Bages. The winery has been rooted in the tradition of wine production for over eight centuries, and its innovative spirit keeps it very much alive. Abadal wines are expressive and authentic, and evoke sensations that emerge from the wooded landscape that surrounds the winery.

I was born surrounded by vineyards. It was 1983 when I decided to found Abadal; a winery whose wines express the uniqueness and identity of this land in the purest way. This land is Bages, a wine-growing region since time immemorial. What better place could there be to set up Abadal than on the land surrounding the Roqueta farmhouse where I grew up, and where my family has been making wine for over eight centuries. Abadal honours my family’s roots and winemaking tradition in the Bages region”.
