Macabeo 60%. Parellada 40%.
Lavit Brut Nature is light gold in colour with a fine and vibrant mousse. The bouquet contains aromas of apple, notes of citrus and hints of fine herbs. The beginning of the palate is dry and refreshing with a lovely and harmonious acidity. Soft and creamy through the mid-palate, the wine finishes with subtle flavours of dried fruits and hints of butter that are results of 18 months of ageing. This Brut Nature certainly “awakens the palate.”
2006 was a very dry year in the Cava region. The January rains were, however, sufficient to allow the vine to successfully complete its vegetative cycle, until more rain fell in September. This drought brought the harvest date forward, as the grapes had concentrated their sugars and were at an optimum point of ripeness. We started to pick the Macabeo on 23rd. August. The quality was excellent and the potential alcohol was slightly higher than the previous year. The Parellada in fact benefitted from the September rains, and we were able to start picking at the beginning of October, bringing in perfectly healthy, fully ripe grapes, with
a good level of acidity. The Consejo Regulador classified the 2006 harvest as “Excellent”.
Grape-growing and winemaking have been part of daily life in the Spanish village of Lavit since the beginning of the 10th century. Segura Viudas Lavit Brut Nature, first created in 1999, is a tribute to our medieval vineyard traditions and winemaking customs. Our CAVA is a wonderful bright fruit medley and a pure expression of the TERROIR of our vineyards. As a result, Lavit Brut Nature has earned many international awards and accolades.
Lavit Brut Nature perfectly balances the lightly sweet notes of oriental cuisine, such as that of Japan,
as well as many Asian dishes. It also beautifully matches most aperitifs, entrées, as well as fish salads, rice dishes and white meats. Because of its low level of sweetness, it is a good match for oily fish such as salmon, trout or sturgeon. Its refreshing Mediterranean elegance makes it a perfect partner for international cuisine.
