Segura Viudas Reserva Herdad CAVA

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.

Medium bodied and mellow with a perfumed bouquet, character and
depth. A good fruit intensity on the palate and a long and slightly
yeasty finish.

Reserva Heredad comes in an exquisite hand-blown bottle with a
slender, tapered neck. The bottle is emblazoned with the pewter
crest of Segura Viudas and rests on a pewter base inscribed with
grapes.
