Venus La Universal
In DO Montsant, around Falset, Venus La Universal has pursued a quiet kind of intensity since 1999. Sara Pérez and René Barbier (Fils) treat wine as farming first—then as a finely tuned translation of soil and season.
The project is built on a small, geological patchwork: Falset’s sauló (decomposed granite) brings austerity and brightness, while clay‑calcareous sites between Marçà and Guiamets encourage slow ripening and composure. Organic work in the vineyards, often with a biodynamic sensibility, is matched by long relationships with the growers who share the same ethos.
In the cellar, precision replaces spectacle: native‑yeast fermentations, gentle extraction, and ageing tailored to the plot—concrete, wood, or clay amphorae/clay pots to preserve lift. The result is Montsant with its own cadence: textured, restrained, and unmistakably of place.Venus La Universal
