THE STORY

About this wine

Biscuit and honey aromas, a generous palate with dried fruit, and fine, persistent bubbles. It's a dry, vintage-dated Cava: 75% Macabeo and 25% Chardonnay off hand-picked old Penedès vines, made only from the first 50% of the pressed juice and aged in bottle on its lees.

Segura Viudas’s flagship Heredad is a traditional-method Cava from Spain, produced from selected base wines and aged in bottle on its lees. The 2021 release is identified as a vintage bottling. The producer describes a nine-wine blend, use of only the first 50% (“flower must”) of the pressing, and hand riddling before disgorgement.

Worth knowing

Before disgorgement, every bottle gets one final sharp twist — the poignettage — which lifts the yeast sediment and intensifies the wine's lees-derived autolytic character. It fits the rest of the winemaking: grapes hand-picked from old vines, and only the delicate first 50% of the pressed juice in the wine.

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Segura Viudas 'Heredad' Brut Reserva 2021

Tasting

Color: Straw yellow. The mousse is fine and plentiful.
Nose: Lees character leads — biscuit, bread, and honey first, flower petals and fruit behind, a light smoke through all of it. The 2021 adds its own layer: smoky minerality, fresh apple skin, and blood-orange zest.
Palate: Fruity and full-flavored, and elegant with it. Dried fruit from the lees, then the 2021's steeped peach, raspberry, and pickled ginger, held in a firm, generous frame on a fine, persistent mousse.
