4.5 grapes

While Segura Viudas dates back to the 11th century it was only at
the end of the 19th century, that the region became aware of the
potential of the various indigenous varieties and the first steps
were taken in the application of the traditional method, the winery
produced its first sparkling wines.

|
Segura Viudas became a brand in 1950, but it was not until 1969
when it began to market its wines, whose quality stood out from
the very first moment. Later on, the installations were equipped
with advanced technology with ensures perfection to the process.
The passage of time has favoured us and the notable prestige of
the brand has grown even more in recent years. It is hard to find
a wine-producing firm that has accumulated so much international
recognition in such a short time. |
 |
Segura Viudas Heredad Reserva is produced with wines from the best
harvests using 67% Macabeo and 33% Parellada varieties. The high
percentage of Macabeo preserves its youth during its long ageing
while the strong ageing aroma in the bottle, shows a perfect combination
between sugar and acidity. Potent in the mouth and elegant on the
palate with a long finish. Best served at a temperature of 8-9º
C. A great substitute for the more expensive French Champagnes.
