Wine for sale: Venus La Universal
Venus La Universal
High up in the rugged Catalan hillside, the Venus la Universal estate is the result of two well-known personalities in the wine industry coming together: Sara Perez and René Barbier Fils.
Founded in 1999, Venus La Universal is one of the most coveted producers in Spain’s Montsant appellation. Sara Perez and René Barbier Fils run the project after they both learnt the trade in their respective families’ cellars in Priorat.
The vineyard covers four hectares and produces 85,000 bottles from five plots. The vines are tended to using organic and biodynamic methods. The soils are varied and rich, creating different styles of complex wines.
After being harvested by hand, the grapes ferment together with the process being started by the natural yeasts present. If the vintage allows it, the winemakers prefer to ferment whole bunches. Light punching down is conducted for the red wines. Ageing takes place in different containers (vats, oak barrels and amphora) over several months with the length of time varying depending on the desired type of wine. These fine Catalan wines reflect their terroir.
