Spring is just around the corner—can you feel it? With the weather warming and the opportunities to be together blooming, now is the time to tap into your hosting skills. Whether it’s a souped-up Sunday brunch with the girls or a Mother’s Day get-together to toast the most supportive women in your life, there are countless reasons to celebrate this season.

One table accoutrement that always matches the merry mood? Sparkling wine from Segura Viudas, a boutique winery just outside Barcelona. Using the “traditional method” that has produced some of the most complex sparklings for centuries, Segura Viudas puts a focus on sustainable wine-making practices. Its yield is an elegant selection of Cavas that’ll satisfy even those with the most refined tastes (including that bougie friend who thinks herself a sommelier).

If you’re looking for a premium and classic bubbly with a complex twist, consider Segura Viudas Brut Reserva Cava. With a straw-yellow colour and hints of honey on the nose, this extra-dry Cava features satisfying notes of citrus, nuts and biscuits, super-refined bubbles and a long, creamy finish on the palate. It’s one you’ll be tempted to sip on even before guests arrive. Need a menu to pair with this fresh pick? Think veggie-forward appetizers like crudités or something that centres on seafood. (DIY sushi, anyone?)

For extra-special moments that require an even more festive sparkling, Segura Viudas Brut Rosé Cava is your bottle. Made with Trepat, a rare red grape that’s indigenous to northeastern Spain, this sparkling Rosé comes packed with plenty of spring-approved notes, including strawberry, peach, redcurrant and a bouquet of florals. But don’t be fooled by Brut Rosé Cava’s sweet pink colour: This one is still on the dryer side and has a crisp finish, so sipping is easy. Try it as an aperitif or with timeless brunch bites like mini Quiche Lorraine. No matter which bubbly beguiles you, Segura Viudas helps you embrace the beauty of spring.
