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."

I would not buy this wine again

Tried this one because of the price and rating, but it isn't as smooth as some others in same price range.

A Customer - New York
Segura Valley NV Brut Reserve is a remarkable bubbly wine that compares to a fine champagne. Our family recommends it highly if you want a pleasurable experience.

A Customer - Anchorage, AK
Segura is a really excellent value. I have a love for great champagne and find this to be a very good, affordable alternative. Have yet to find a sparkling wine (other than champagnes, of course) that I like more than this cava. Beats out the more expensive American and Spanish sparklers that I've had, and some champagnes that cost many times as much. Served at several parties, always with great success.

A Customer - Seattle, WA
I love champagne! Normally I purchase Chateau Ste. Michelle blanc de blanc Sparkling Wine (WA State) and love it. This is a wonderful sparkling wine and I have tried many. It is an inexpensive, tasty but not too sweet sparkling wine that I am not embarrased to share with guests. Great taste and great price.

brian_griset@yahoo.com - Oakland, California
This is a great bubbly especially for the price. I am impressed with the balance, the nose, the amount and size of bubbles - IT's GREAT!!! A find!!! ...methode champenoise, I know not, but this is good...buy it

A Customer - San Francisco, California
A truly wonderful sparkler that is also a great value. I paired the available 187 mL single-serving mini bottles with individual sushi platters for a luncheon, and the Segura brut complimented marvelously! Having the mini bottles at each person's seat made for a fun, delicious touch!

darkcyde13@aol.com - Queens,NY
Excellent entry level sparkler!! Goes great with food and is very refreshing. I keep a bottle on hand at all times.

A Customer - big island, hawaii
Excellent sparkler. I was surprised to find it here, in Hawaii, at a supermarket. I have tried many expensive champagnes and sparkling wines, and this one is right up there with the best of them. I now want to try the segura viudas brut reserva heredad, If I can find it. The reviews on it sounds really good!!

A Customer - Virginia
I found this a bit on the lemony side for my taste (I really like a toasty, yeasty champagne). Reasonable value, but I'll be sticking to Freixenet Cordon Negro for my future Cava purchases

A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
