Winemaking

Aria is a méthode champenoise sparkling wine from the Segura Viudas Estate in Sant Sadurní d’Anoia, Spain and is styled after Segura Viudas' top-of-the- line cava, Reserva Heredad. Aria is a blend of only the first gentle pressings of the Macabeo, Parellada and Xarel-lo grapes. Macabeo provides a fine, honeyed aroma; Parellada lends subtle elegance; and the Xarel- lo provides the backbone of the cava and gives both body and good acidity.
