Description
Brut Rosé from Segura Viudas is a perfect example of what a Cava Rosado should be like, with its intense fruitiness, on both nose and
palate, its lively colour, and its finesse. In the search for perfect balance between fruit and ageing, the blend for this rosado is made up of
three black grape varieties: Trepat, Pinot Noir and Garnacha, each contributing their particular characteristics.
• Made from Trepat, Garnacha and Pinot Noir. The Trepat produces the freshness of fruit, the aroma
and the finesse. The Garnacha enhances its taste. The Pinot Noir contributes the spicy touch and
aromatic intensity.
• Traditional skin maceration to create the colour and to extract the aromas of the grapes.
– The Trepat is macerated for 24 hours at 12-14 ºC
– The Garnacha is macerated for 12 hours at 16-18 ºC
– The Pinot is macerated in the trailer during its journey to the winery.
• The blend of the Brut Rosé is made from 7 separate wines from the two grapes.
• The first and second fermentations are carried out using our own selected yeasts. These yeasts
give the finished wine its own identity.
• Ageing time on the lees is less for this rosado than for the rest of our cavas, since our objective is
to retain the primary aromas of the fruit. A minimum of 12 months in contact with the lees will give
the Rosado a perfect balance between fruit aromas and complexity. The fruit, naturally, comes from
the grapes, and the complexity from the process of autolysis of the yeasts during the secondary
fermentation in bottle, where the personality of the yeasts is transferred to the wine, enriching it in
flavours and nuances.
• The versatility of this Rosado, with just the right level of sweetness, at 9 grams, make it ideal as an
aperitif, for al fresco eating, or just as a glass on its own on the patio.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
Bright, light strawberry pink, with hints of salmon, or onion skin, with a pale rim. A fine, abundant
and consistent mousse, rising to a good crown. Youthful fruit aromas of strawberry, redcurrant
and grenadine. Refreshing on the palate, full of cherry fruit and a light acidity. A soft finish to the
back of the palate gives a lovely approachable balance to this very drinkable cava.

SOMMELIER’S RECOMMENDATION
A refreshing balanced cava thanks to its meticulous blending and finishing – the Trepat delivering
the fruit and the Garnacha the taste. With these characteristics it is perfect with most appetizers
or starters, whether fish or vegetable, and it is ideal with seafood rice, with salmon, or with grilled
tuna where it combines both in colour and in flavour. It is also a joy just as a mid-afternoon drink.
