Great sparkler!!

This is Segura Viudas' best sparkler!!
Segura Viudas ARIA is made from only the finest grapes grown on their ESTATE, unlike the brut Reserve, there is no purchased fruit in here!!

Segura Viudas ARIA Estate Brut...$8.99
"ARIA is a méthode champenoise sparkling wine from the Segura Viudas Estate in Torrelavit, in Spain's Alt Penedès region, 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.
ARIA Estate Brut is a dry, lively refreshment appropriate for any occasion. Its flavor is dominated by fresh pineapple, almonds, honey and straw, with hints of pears and fresh bread." -- Segura Viudas






100 TOP VALUES OF THE YEAR
"An elegant Cava, this feels rich and composed. Its simple pearlike fruit integrates with the bubbles and dosage, providing a clean, complete and satisfying length of flavor. Easy to enjoy on its own, yet substantial enough for veal sauteed with sage and mushrooms." - Wine & Spirits








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.
