Segura Viudas -  Penedes, Spain

Brand Overview

La Masia or “the farmhouse” of Segura Viudas (se•GUR •a vi •YU•das) dates back to the 11th century when it was used as a military outpost. Segura Viudas was established in 1945 when Sr. Segura purchased the medieval farmhouse known as Can Esbert and built a state-of-the-art facility that includes five levels of subterranean wine cellars. A marvelous profile of the mountain of Montserrat provides the backdrop fit for the winery as the Sant Pere de Riudebitlles River meanders its way through the estate. The Segura Viudas Estate sprawls over 445 acres in Torrelavit, Alt Penedès, the heart of the renowned cava-producing region of Spain.

Over the years, Segura Viudas has earned a reputation as one of the top producers of sparkling wine, or cava. The winery has been noted for its high production standards, its labor-intensive approach to winemaking, and its penchant for releasing some of Europe’s finest artisan sparkling wines. Segura Viudas has earned many honors over the past five decades, including being named “Winery of the Year” by Wine & Spirits magazine.

Today, seven of Segura Viudas’ most outstanding sparkling wines are available, in limited quantity, here in America: Brut Reserva, Extra Dry, Brut Rosé, ARIA Brut, ARIA Extra Dry, ARIA Sparkling Pinot Noir, and Reserva Heredad.
