Segura Viudas Reserva Cava Semi Seco / 12% / 0.75l

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.

Semi-sweet cava made from grapes from recognized plots – it consists of 60% Macabeo, additionally 25% Parellada and 15% Xarel-lo. It matures for two to three years before being released on the market. Quite complex and expressive wine, full of citrus aromas, a bit of pear and candied fruit. On the palate it captivates with a clear, lively, slightly delicate effervescence. The flavors of fresh fruit are delicately broken by pleasant acidity, with an emerging accent of dried apricots. The finish is moderately long, with a bit of candied note.

It tastes best served at a temperature of 6-8 degrees. Excellent as an aperitif, but it is a very versatile wine, suitable for drinking alone. It works well in culinary combinations with fish and shellfish, preferably in slightly more spicy compositions.
