Segura Viudas Brut Reserva Cava NV

Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainThe Reserva Brut is a dependable, go-to Cava made from Penedès’ three traditional varieties: macabeo, parellada, and xarel·lo. The emphasis is on crisp, honeyed orchard fruit with just a hint of lees from ageing 15 months in bottle. There’s a notch more complexity here than the Organic Brut, and the mousse is more delicate, showing surprising poise for this price point. The palate also comes across drier, though the dosage is about the same, which will make this even more versatile at the dinner table — recommended, especially if you’re someone who always wants to have a bottle of chilled sparkling wine in the fridge.Tasted: 19 August 2020Tasted by: Prices:
