Description:
Located outside Barcelona, Spain, Heredad Segura Viudas is an iconic boutique winery, quietly basking in the sunny vineyards of the ancient wine region of Penedès. The origins of the Heredad have been traced back to the 11th century- the time of the Iberian Crusades -La Reconquista.
Segura Viudas produces artisanal cava wines using the ‘traditional method’ process. The double fermentation process has been used for centuries to make sparkling wines, producing the highest quality wines with multiple layers of complexity, fruit and more refined bubbles.
The wines are aged from one to five years, placed on special racks at a 45-degree angle and undergo ‘riddling’ so that the yeast sediments, or lees, collect in the neck of the bottle.
After aging, the lees are removed through the disgorging process. Immediately after disgorging, the bottles are topped off with the original base wine and sugar is added, a practice known as dosage.
Tasting Note:
Great value cava for the level of complexity. Lemon, Macintosh apple, buttered toast, and mushroom. Light, fizzy palate. Mouth-watering and bright acidity. Have some on hand for everyday celebrations! Also great for when you have a hard-to-pair food.
