Tasting Notes
A balanced Cava with a fresh finish, intense and complex in aroma. White fruits - apple and pear dominating, along with citrus and tropical fruit - pineapple, over a base of dried fruit and nuts, with some toasty notes and a touch of vanilla. Clean and fresh in aroma. On the palate it starts soft and flavoursome, with bright, long acidity delivering freshness.
History
Located outside Barcelona, Spain, Heredad Segura Viudas is an iconic boutique winery, quietly basking in the sunny vineyards of the ancient wine region of Penedès. The origins of the Heredad have been traced back to the 11th century- the time of the Iberian Crusades -La Reconquista.
Regional Information
A territory configured by a wide valley between the Massís del Garraf and Montserrat, until it opens to the sea. It is an ideal area for growing vines and making wine, as evidenced by its long historical tradition as a wine region for more than 2,000 years. Within this natural framework, the grapes for Cava come from plots that enjoy a diversity of microclimates, as a consequence of the proximity to the coast and the altitude of some vineyards that can reach 750m above sea level. This allows the indigenous varieties of Cava to fit into the different landscapes of the region according to their needs, with Xarel.lo predominating in the coastal zone, Macabeo in the valley and Parellada in the highest areas.
Vinification Details
Grapes picked by hand and machine at night. Fermented in stainless steel tanks at 16ºC.
