Creators' opinion
Venus es el resultado de nuestra búsqueda por la belleza. Un intento de interpretar la feminidad, la tierra, a través de una botella de vino: Cariñena, Garnacha y sirá, misterio y seducción, discurso y voluptuosidad, paz, paciencia, equilibrio y pasión. Un vino jugoso, pensado para acompañar la comida, especialmente la cocina mediterránea.
The winery
Winery
The Venus La Universal winery was established in 1999, led by Sara Pérez (Mas Martinet) and René Barbier (Clos Mogador), determined to produce wines in the promising Montsant area, even before the appellation was officially founded. The winery's goal is to create exceptional wines, always committed to organic farming and genuine respect for the environment and surroundings. They work on land where the native grape varieties garnacha and cariñena take center stage, well complemented by international varieties such as cabernet sauvignon, syrah, and merlot.
