Venus La Universal Venus

Venus La Universal Venus. Venus is the result, year after year of our search for beauty. It is an attempt to interpret femininity, the Earth, through a bottle of wine: Carinyena (Carignan), Garnatxa (Grenache) and Syrah, mystery and seduction, discourse and opulence, peace, patience, balance and passion.

A wine which envelops you, it is mouth-watering, destined for accompanying food, especially for traditional Mediterranean cuisine.

Grapes are harvested by plots. They are selected and processed separately, but finally we try to do the fermentation all together if the vintage allow us. Grapes are processed as whole berries and some stems from Garnatxa. Fermentation starts with wild native yeast. We apply slightly pigeage during fermentation and maceration, that takes around 28 and 32 days in wood tanks. Venus is aged in a 4500l wood vat for 6 months and 12 more months in 2500l foudres.

Composition: Garnatxa 50%, Carinyena 40%, Sirà 10%

Winery Description

Husband and wife team Sara Pérez and René Barbier (Fils) are the children of two of the great pioneers of the Priorat D.O., Josep Lluis Pérez of Mas Martinet and René Barbier of Clos Mogador. Sara and René are both very well respected vignerons in their own right, so it seemed natural that they should start a project together. For this project, they decided to stake their claim not in Priorat, but in the slightly sleepier D.O. of Monsant.

René and Sara have taken the goddess as their inspiration for this project. One of their stated goals is “to interpret femininity through a bottle of wine”. This might seem an odd choice for a bodega that elaborates Grenache- and Carignan-based wines in Southern Cataluña, but it makes sense once you taste. These are incredibly elegant, refined, sensual expressions of Montsant, with restrained alcohol levels and tremendous texture.

The grapes for the wines come from an approximate total of four hectares of vineyards which are owned by four different grape-growing families in Falset as well as another small plot owned by Venus. One could call Venus a négociant project, but it is more accurate to say that it is a partnership between these four families and René and Sara. Venus is these small growers’ only client, so their vineyards are farmed in accordance with the rigorous ecological standards set by the couple. The grapes for Dido come from the Falset area, from vineyards with soils based on decomposed granite called sauló. These soils are poor in organic matter and they contribute to producing grapes with great ripeness and fruit flavors. The grapes for Venus come from clay-calcareous soils between Marçà and Guiamets. These soils encourage a slow, elegant and complex ripeness.
