Venus La Universal, Venus La Figuera, D.O. Montsant, red wine, 0.75l

Sara Pérez and René Barbier create wines that are deeply connected to the place of their origin – and Venus de la Figuera is a pure expression of the high-altitude terroir of the village of La Figuera in the Montsant region. This elegant red wine comes from the highest-altitude vineyards in the region and is made in full harmony with nature, without intervention and with respect for the original grape varieties.

Grape variety: 100% Garnacha

Vineyard: The grapes come from vineyards at an altitude of up to 600 m around the village of La Figuera. The vineyards face north-east, which helps preserve natural acidity and freshness. The soil is predominantly limestone, giving the wine finesse and a pronounced mineral streak. All vineyard work is done by hand and organically.

Production and ageing: After hand harvesting of the grapes, spontaneous fermentation takes place in concrete tanks without added yeasts. The maceration is very gentle to emphasise the fruitiness. The wine then ages for several months in medium-sized neutral barrels, which preserve the authenticity of the variety and the place.

Taste and aroma: The wine is lighter in colour, aromatically clean and fresh. The aroma is dominated by notes of cherries, raspberries and flowers, complemented by gentle herbal and mineral nuances. On the palate it is light, elegant, with pronounced acidity, fine tannins and a long, saline-mineral finish.

Food pairing: Great with lighter dishes such as roasted vegetables, dishes of chicken, tapas, tuna, grilled fish or cheeses with a delicate rind. Also ideal as a wine for evening sipping without food. The recommended serving temperature is 14–16 °C.

Alcohol content: Approximately 14.5%
