Freixenet (pronounced "fresh-eh-net"), best known for its "black bottle bubbly" Cordon Negro, is a family-owned company that grew from humble beginnings in rural Catalunya. The roots of Freixenet stretch back to 1861 and are embedded in the history of two longstanding winemaking families, the Ferrers and the Salas, whose expertise, determination and ingenuity would intertwine to form the foundation of the company that today is the world leader in sparkling wines made using the traditional méthode champenoise process.

While Freixenet may be the largest maker of traditional method sparkling wine, quality remains our number one objective. The company focuses solely on méthode champenoise wines, and continually innovates and invests in the latest winemaking technology to ensure a consistent, excellent product.

Segura Viudas dates back to the 11th century. At the beginning it was a watching tower that experienced several work extensions, which explain the presence of diverse architectural styles: Visigoth, Romanesque and Gothic. In the 13th century the tower lost its military importance and was converted into a masia, which is the name given to country houses in Catalonia. When, at the end of the 19th century, the region became aware of the potential of the various indigenous varieties and the first steps were taken in the application of the traditional method, the winery produced its first sparkling wines.

Segura Viudas became a brand in 1950, but it was not until 1969 when it began to market its wines, whose quality stood out from the very first moment. Later on, the installations were equipped with advanced technology with ensures perfection to the process. The passage of time has favoured us and the notable prestige of the brand has grown even more in recent years. It is hard to find a wine-producing firm that has accumulated so much international recognition in such a short time.
