Segura Viudas Aria Brut (75cl, 11.5%)

Segura Viudas Aria Brut is a traditional method Spanish Cava sparkling wine from Penedès, Catalonia, at 11.5% ABV in a 750ml bottle. Segura Viudas operates from an 11th-century estate in Alt Penedès. The wine blends 60% Macabeo, 20% Parellada and 20% Xarel-lo, with three months of autolysis on the yeast lees in the base wine and a minimum of 15 months of bottle aging. The nose opens with green apple and pear, then toasted almond and fresh bread, with a light orange blossom lift. The palate brings bright citrus and pineapple, honeyed undertones and gentle nuttiness. The finish is medium, dry and straw-like, with lemon zest and mild bitterness.
