Segura Viudas Lavit Cava Brut Nature / 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.

A wonderful cava composed of Macabeo and Parellada grapes. Both varieties come from two different estates, which is why it is necessary to choose the right grapes in the vineyard. Macabeo used here matures in Viña de los Plátanos, where the vines are over 40 years old, and Parellada comes from Sant Marc located on Pla de Manlleu - at the time of harvest they are the most valuable grapes in the area. The wine has a straw yellow color, with delicate greenish reflections. In the nose, alongside notes of ripe fruit, there are aromas typical of aged wines, such as yeast, nuts and buttery notes. On the palate it is smooth and fresh, with a slight effervescence, the finish is long and still fresh, with a hint of dried fruit appearing.

It tastes best served at a temperature of 8-10 degrees. Excellent as an aperitif, but it will also go well with Asian dishes or fish salads. As for fish - those with more fat, such as salmon, trout or sturgeon, will be suitable.
