Segura Viudas CAVA Reserva Brut Heredad 12 % is a high-quality premium cava from Spain, created with a particular focus on elegance, versatility and extended ageing on the lees. Available in a 0.75 l bottle, the Reserva Heredad is based on a careful selection of the finest wines from each vintage, with the final cuvée being blended from nine base wines vinified separately. The first fermentation takes place at a low, controlled temperature of 14–16 °C in stainless-steel tanks to preserve the primary grape aromas. Only the particularly fine ‘Mosto Flor’ is used, which accounts for around 50 per cent of the gently pressed must. Macabeo is the dominant grape variety and contributes significantly to the freshness, acidity and ageing potential of this Cava Reserva. The grapes from old vines are harvested by hand and transported to the winery in small 25-kg crates.


The second fermentation takes place in the bottle using the winery’s own selected yeasts, after which the Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad matures on the lees for more than 24 months. A distinctive feature is the so-called ‘poignettage’: before fining, each bottle is rotated using a specific hand movement, causing the yeast to mix with the wine once more and intensifying autolysis. This labour-intensive production process lends this Spanish Cava Brut additional complexity, structure and a particularly elegant effervescence. This makes the Reserva Heredad an excellent choice for connoisseurs of sophisticated sparkling wines with extended ageing on the lees, and for special occasions.

Tasting Note

In the glass, the Segura Viudas CAVA Reserva Brut Heredad presents an elegant straw-yellow colour with small, finely integrated and persistent bubbles. On the nose, the notes of pastry and subtle smoky aromas resulting from the long yeast ageing initially take centre stage, followed by subtle hints of honey, fruit and flower petals. On the palate, it is full-bodied, fruity and flavourful, with elegant nutty notes and a harmoniously integrated effervescence. The finish is complex, balanced and leaves a pleasantly full-bodied impression.

Acidity: 3.5 g/l

Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad Brut is ideal as a premium aperitif and as an accompaniment to a multi-course meal. It pairs particularly well with oysters and seafood, grilled fish, prawns, sushi, poultry or mature cheeses. Thanks to its fuller-bodied structure and more than 24 months’ ageing on the lees, this premium Cava also complements richer starters and is ideal for receptions, festive meals and special celebrations.
