Gold for Segura Viudas Brut Reserva in Premis Vinari

Segura Viudas Premis Vinari

Our renowned Cava Segura Viudas Brut Reserva has been awarded a gold medal in the summer edition of the 2021 Vinari Awards for Catalan Wines, which recognize the best young wines. Our Brut Reserva 2020 thus adds a new recognition by obtaining a Vinari Gold Medal in the Young Sparkling category (up to 18 months of aging). Held on July the 9th in Vilafranca de Penedès, this contest opens in 2021 this second awards ceremony in summer in addition to the traditional one in autumn. From Segura Viudas we add a new success thanks to the excellent quality of our cavas.

Fruit, freshness and complexity are the three main virtues that define Segura Viudas Brut Reserva. The fruit and freshness come from the careful care with which we treat the grapes, since it is transported in boxes of 25 kilograms to prevent the grain from breaking and only first-press must is used. The complexity comes from a special elaboration consisting of the autolysis of the yeasts with the base wine for 3 months before being bottled, and a second autolysis of the yeasts for a minimum of 15 months of aging inside the bottle. As a result, we obtain aromas of white, tropical and citrus fruits, and moderate floral notes.

The elegant aromas of our cava have undoubtedly convinced the Vinari Awards jury. In this ninth edition, the contest has organized for the first time two separate awards ceremony acts, one in summer and one in autumn, in order to reveal the best whites, young, rosés and sparkling wines coinciding with the summer months, which are optimal for consumption. The contest has a jury specialized in evaluating wines from all Catalan regions and the different styles of winemaking. Among the more than sixty experts who have participated, there are renowned sommeliers and winemakers, responsible for blind tasting and evaluating the nearly 850 participating samples.

The medal obtained by Segura Viudas Brut Reserva demonstrates, once again, our commitment to the highest quality and demand in all our wines and cavas. This distinction joins other international awards that our Brut Reserva has recently achieved, such as the silver medal at the prestigious Concours Mondial de Bruxelles.
