At Segura Viudas we are proud to have been awarded three medals in the prestigious Sommelier Choice Awards 2020, awarded by the best sommeliers in the United States. Our award-winning cavas have been Segura Viudas Brut Reserva and Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad, which have obtained gold medals after both receiving a high valuation of 90 points; and Segura Viudas Brut Rosé, who has won a silver medal with 89 points.
The success in this distinguished international contest is a new demonstration of the high quality of our cavas.
Fruit, freshness and complexity are the three main virtues that define Segura Viudas Brut Reserva. To make this cava we treat the grapes with great care, as they are collected by hand and transported in 25-kilogram boxes to prevent the grain from breaking. For its part, Reserva Heredad is an elegant and versatile cava made with the best wines of each harvest that will later age in the bottle in contact with their lees for more than 24 months. Finally, Segura Viudas Brut Rosé stands out for its aromas of red fruits and is made with the Trepat variety. At Segura Viudas we were pioneers in the recovery of Trepat, following our philosophy of support for autochthonous varieties.
The Sommeliers Choice Awards judging panel is composed of America’s top sommeliers and restaurant wine buyers. Medals are awarded to those wines that meet very specific and demanding evaluation criteria to be included in the restaurant’s wine lists, assessing their versatility and value for money.
This important recognition joins other awards that Segura Viudas cavas have recently received, such as those obtained at the Concours Mondial de Bruxelles and at the Decanter World Wine Awards.
