About the wine
Venus la Universal was founded in 1999 by talented oenologist Sara Pérez and is now run together with her husband René Barbier Jr. The couple is taking a respectful, biodynamic approach to winegrowing and growing (not yet certified). Venus la Universal is one of the many fascinating projects of the two winemakers whose fathers, with Mas Martinet and Clos Mogador, made the Priory famous worldwide. Sara Pérez and René Barbier Jr. continue the success story of their legendary fathers and create outstanding wines of the highest quality not only in Priorat but also in Montsant.

Tasting note
Pure elegance and style Oh how it crackles, simply amazing, this dark eroticism, dark berries and ripe sweet fruit, plums, with noble distinction and mysterious depth, licorice, slate and peat. On the palate, beguiling elegance, smooth and silky, wonderful fresh and sweet dark fruit, elegant play, yet with lots of class, noble feminine structure, coquettishly fresh and tart, equally rejecting and alluring, is no longer out of your mind. Pure nobility and eroticism — seduction couldn't be more stylish.
Culinary recommendation
Ideal with red meat, grilled lamb or mature, spicy cheese. The wine also develops its full power and complexity with Mediterranean dishes such as ratatouille or paella.
Vinification
Selective reading by hand. Slow fermentation of partially stemmed, whole berries with wild yeasts over 28-32 days. The wine is then aged for 6 months in 4,500L wooden vats and for a further 12 months in large 2,500L wooden barrels.
