Cava - Champagne Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad

Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad is a limited production méthode champenoise wine originally reserved for members of the Segura family and their friends.

Reserva Heredad is made exclusively from grapes grown in the estate's vineyards at Torrelavit in the Alt Penedès region of Spain.

Only the first pressing of the Macabeo and Parellada grapes goes into the making of the cuvée. The yeast is added, and the wine is allowed to develop in the bottle for up to four years.

Winemaker's Notes

Straw yellow in colour, with a small, fine, plentiful mousse. The opening aromas are of the ageing on lees, lightly smokey, with touches of biscuit or bread, which are followed by hints of honey, fruit, and flower petals. The palate is excellent, fruity, and full of flavour, with dried fruits from the lees ageing, but very elegant, giving the drinker a delightful sense of abundance.

Sommelier's Recommendation

This Cava defines elegant refreshment, even in its presentation. It is a perfect companion to truffle influenced dishes, such as truffle oil drizzled pastas. White fish – sole or monkfish à la meunière, or even traditional Mediterranean casseroles are perfect companions, as are cooked or cured hams, and soft white cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. It marries perfectly with meat dishes, such as fillet of venison slow braised in a shallot sauce.
