winemaker's notes:
Number 23 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!
Segura Viudas Brut Reserva, created from a blend of reserve and non-vintage wines, is clean
and delicate, yet rich in flavor.
Brut Reserva is a cuvée of Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel-lo grapes grown in the renowned
Penedès region of Spain. The wine is vinified according to méthode champenoise technique
and is aged in the bottle for up to 2 years.
This fine cuvée is fairly crisp with an interesting floral note and mouth-pleasing sensation of creaminess.
50% Macabeo
35% Parellada
15% Xarel·lo
"...owned by the Cava house Friexenet, Segura Viudas regularly hits the tops of our charts for Cava. The Brut Reserva is the best Cava we tasted last year, regardless of price, a graceful, complex bubbly with dry apple flavors wrapped in smoke, spice and minerals."
