The Freixenet Group triumphs at the Catalan Wine and Sparkling Contest – Giroví

• The Cavas of the Freixenet and Segura Viudas brands shine at the prestigious event held in Girona
• The company’s new achievements, in the form of great gold and gold medals, certify the firm commitment of the Freixenet Group to the highest quality

Cavas from Freixenet and Segura Viudas, emblematic brands of the Freixenet Group, world leader in quality sparkling wines, have added new successes in the prestigious Catalan Wine and Sparkling Contest – Giroví 2021. Specifically, Freixenet Elyssia Pinot Noir and Segura Viudas Brut Vintage Gran Reserva have received great gold medals in this competition held in Girona. Likewise, Segura Viudas Torre Galimany has been awarded a gold medal.

Freixenet Elyssia Pinot Noir is awarded again after recently obtaining medals at Bacchus, CINVE, Concours Mondial de Bruxelles and Mundus Vini International Wine Competitions. It is a Cava with a bright raspberry pink color of medium intensity and abundant bubbles. This sparkling wine stands out for being very fruity with intense aromas of red fruits (ripe raspberry, currants and cherry), ripe fruit and compotes.

For its part, Segura Viudas Brut Vintage is a Gran Reserva Cava that has aromas of good intensity and complexity. Ripe fruit notes and citrus tones appear on an elegant background of dried fruit and bakery provided by its correct yeast aging. In the mouth it is tasty, fresh and harmonious, with a good presence of fruit. It runs creamy and ends with the excellent taste sensations of a great aging Cava.

Finally, Segura Viudas Torre Galimany is a Cava with a fine bubble that slowly evolves on the surface of the glass where it forms a beautiful and attractive rosary. On the nose the fruit predominates over the wood and aromas of tropical fruit and white flowers appear on a spicy background. It offers a tasty entry on the palate, long acidity that lasts in a pleasant and harmonious way, with a good presence of fruit and an integrated and creamy carbon.

Created by Agustí Ensesa, founder of the Col·legi de Tastavins del Gironès, the Catalunya – Giroví Wine and Sparkling Wine Competition held its XXVI edition on June 5 at the Hotel Carlemany in Girona with the participation of samples from all the Catalan DOs. Giroví increases the number of competing wineries every year and has a grand jury made up of winemakers, sommeliers, winemakers, teachers and students from the School of Hospitality, sale agents, distributors, restaurateurs. The awards obtained demonstrate, once again, the commitment of the Freixenet Group with the highest quality and demand in all its products.
