The Christmas season opens doors to reconnect with family and friends. At this time of celebration, saving tradition takes on a fundamental value.

Centuries of tradition
The roots of Segura Viudas go back to the 12th century, during the Iberian Crusade. The land on which this emblematic winery is located belonged to the monastery of Sant Cugat del Valles, the most important in the province of Barcelona, until the monastery gave the land to Gerard Alemany. In the 12th century, the Germans erected a defensive tower to mark and defend territory captured during the Reconquista. Over the course of the same century, the tower expanded into a farm growing cereals and cereals and including a working mill. The property, which since 1956 has been called “The Grape House,” has become a symbol of local grape growing on the hills and marshy banks.
In the second half of the 20th century, Cava emerged as a revolution in the world, establishing itself as the global standard in sparkling wine thanks to its quality and variety. In the 1950s, the Segura brothers acquired the farm and estate Cannes Espert de Reims. They updated the facilities with new basements and cellars and equipped them with the latest generation machines. In 1969, they marketed their own cava, the famous and distinguished Segura Viudas Reserva Heredad, a testament to tradition renewed with innovation, through the Ramón Freixa menu, respect for origin, roots and celebration of Christmas.
