Segura Viudas Brut Reserva Cava NV
Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainI've been tasting this Brut for decades, and it remains consistently well made. It is made from three classic Cava grapes: macabeo, parellada, and xarel·lo. The style is crisp, just off lean, with subtle notes of creamy lees and hints of fresh apples and apricots. The finish is perceptibly dry. You can serve this with an array of appetizers. Good value.Tasted: 28 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $16.99 | 750ml | BCLS |

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:| BC | $16.99 | 750ml | BCLS |

Segura Viudas Brut Reserva Cava NV
Penedès, Catalunya (Catalonia Cataluña), SpainYear in and year out the Segura Viudas does a great job with its non-vintage Reserva fizz that mixes 50/35/15 macabeo, parellada and xarel-lo grapes from the cool Alt Penedès region north of the winery. The attack is 'cava' dry, this is not prosecco, with nutty, floral, green apple aromas. The palate is creamy soft with more nutty, citrus, green apple, stony mineral, sea salt flavours. The perfect appetizer wine. Good value.Tasted: 29 December 2014Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $16.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
