Nobleza D's parents Granadino XI 1978 and Atenea IX were both imported from Spain. Her sire was a son of the legendary stallion Leviton and her dam came from well-known Escalera and military lines. 

One of Nobleza D's most famous relatives is Genio III - a striking black stallion.  Nobleza D's dam Atenea IX was a daughter of Jardinero V and both of Genio III's parents are sired by Jardinero V. Genio III stands at the premiere JDON farms in California and has a stud fee of $5000. He has produced National Champions such as Centenario, Mayoral LA, Chantaje, Pacifico's Prieta Linda, and Reserve National Champions Tachanado and Mi Lolita (Solataire) as well as Futurity Champion Angelica ECV.

More about Genio III from the Jdon website:

"He has a long elegant neck rising high out of his wide, muscular chest and he looks at you with beautiful, perfect triangular eyes. His coat is fine, shiny and always silky to touch. He is a fabulous stallion, proven to stamp himself on his foals over and over again. Genio has made a mark for himself on Spanish horses being bred here in the United States, and his fame is spreading. Genio is the first U.S. Andalusian stallion, that we know of, to have one of his American born offspring exported to Europe, for breeding purposes. Limited bookings by private treaty for select Andalusian mares.
