Venus La Universal is a young wine estate, spread over 4 hectares of vineyards, and located in the DO Montsant in the Falset district, owned by René Barbier and his wife, the winemaker Sara Pérez. Both with a wealth of experience in the family businesses, founded their own company in 1999 in a joint project characterized by a strong respect for the environment and a careful adherence to the organic regime.
Venus La Universal is a red wine produced with organically grown Garnacha, and Cariñena grapes from 4 parcels of old vines on clay and calcareous soils, in a vineyard located at the top of a slope that enjoys a north and south orientation. After manual harvesting, fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts. The finished wine then ages in large wooden vats and foudres for a total of approximately 18 months.
The wine reveals a bright and intense color with cherry red tones and purple nuances. Its aromatic profile is broad and fragrant with fruity and herbaceous notes, and mineral and leather hints. On the palate, it is warm and round, soft and fruity. It has a good structure and ripe and well-integrated tannins. It is a balanced, elegant, and charming wine, with a long and pleasantly fruity finish. Try it with porchetta or pork stew.

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
