Segura Viudas Rose Cava Brut / 12% / 0.75l
Product description
The winery’s centre is housed in a historic building, built on lands belonging to the monastery of Sant Cugat in the county of Barcelona, given to Gerard Alemany. It was initially a defensive tower, used to defend the territories conquered during the Reconquista. The first mention of grape cultivation on this estate dates back to 1156, when a deed describes it as Domus de Reÿm – House of Grapes. When cava gained recognition in the world dominated by champagne in the mid-20th century, the estate developed very quickly. The Segura brothers acquired it in the 1950s, added cellars and wineries, equipping them with the latest equipment available at the time. The first result of this work was the introduction of a premium cava in 1969 – Segura Viudas Heredad.
Today, Segura Viudas continues its centuries-old traditions, placing particular emphasis on production in harmony with nature. The winery has the WFCP (Wineries for Climate Protection) certificate, the first and only one to date that defines the principles of sustainable development for the wine sector. Additionally, acting responsibly in the tourism industry, it has also been awarded the "Commitment to the Biosphere" mark.
A very good example of what a good quality Cava Rosado should look like and taste like. It is composed of the Trepat, Garnacha and Pinot Noir varieties, which are ideal for the production of rosé wines, where each of them is responsible for unique features that together create a unique whole. It consists of 7 separate wines, traditionally macerated on skins, in order to extract the greatest amount of aromas. It has a beautiful pink color, reminiscent of a combination of strawberries with a salmon color. On the nose it is full of aromas of pomegranate, red currant and strawberries. On the palate it captivates with a very delicate, consistent and creamy effervescence. Freshness perfectly matches the flavors of cherries and red fruits. The finish is moderately long, soft, with a lasting balance between fruitiness and acidity.
It tastes best served at a temperature of 6-8 degrees. Perfect as an aperitif, but also for drinking alone. In culinary combinations, it will work well with expressive dishes with the addition of asparagus and bacon. Fish with the addition of seafood and mushrooms will also be suitable in this combination.
