Segura Viudas Cava Brut Reserva
Fruitiness, freshness and complexity are the three principal defining characteristics of Segura Viudas Brut Reserva. The fruit and the freshness stem from the meticulous care with which we handle our grapes. These are all picked by hand and brought to the winery in 25kg capacity self draining plastic boxes to prevent grape damage, and the juice possibly oxidising, which would lead to a loss of reshness. The complexity comes from a very special technique, which involves autolysis of the yeast cells in the base wine for 3 months before bottling, and a second autolysis of the yeast cells for a minimum of 15 months ageing in bottle.

Perlage

Elegant and persistent mousse.

Colour

Straw yellow.

Bouquet

The aromas are of white fruits, citrus and tropical fruits, and light floral notes.

Flavour

The palate is exquisite, complex and full of flavour, with good acidity and notes of lime and pineapple. It is dry and long on the finish.

Pairing

An ideal Cava to start a meal, or a loyal companion to preserved sea foods, (clams, winkles, anchovies), pasta dishes such as noodles with seafood sprinkled with arbequina extra virgin olive oil, or even a warm quail salad. It is perfectly at home with soft milk cheeses or a mild Brie.

Vinification The pressing of whole grapes to retain their identity and avoid oxidation. Static decantation of the grape juice for 24 hours to achieve fruitier and more elegant wines.
