Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad

Blend of 60% Macabeo, 20% Chardonnay, 10% Parellada, 10% Xarel·lo

The must for Reserva Heredad comes from the lightest pressing of the grapes. We only use the first 50% of the juice pressed. This is known as the “flower” must, as it is the most aromatic and delicate. The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled low temperature of between 14 and 16°C, to retain the primary aromas of the grapes. The blend for Reserva Heredad is made up of different wines, each one vinified in separate tanks. The magic of the blend is in ensuring that each one lends its own touch of character to the whole. Macabeo is the dominant grape in Reserva Heredad, contributing acidity and freshness. It also allows the wine to age well, during the 18 months or more that it will be in contact with the lees. Before disgorgement we give each bottle a last sharp shake, or twist of the wrist, known as a “poignettage”, The riddling or turning of all the bottles of Reserva Heredad is done by hand and in pupitres.
