Located in Catalonia, in the Montsant wine region, Venus La Universal is the personal project of Sara Pérez and René Barbier, which began in 1999. Today, the company that produces its wines organically with the intent of representing the richness of the Montsant terroirs, is considered one of the most prestigious wineries in the area.
Universal Dido Tinto is a blend of mostly Grenache, with additions of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah. The organically grown grapes are sourced from a 10-hectare estate, located in Falset on degraded granite soils that heat up easily during the day and cool down during the night, favoring a long and complete maturation. Fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts and the finished wine rests for 14/16 months partly in wooden barrels and partly in cement tanks.
The wine reveals a fresh and young character and a bright and lively color with cherry red tones. Its aromatic profile is broad with notes of red fruit, wild herbs, and floral scents. On the palate, it is lively and juicy, round and soft. It has a refreshing acidic vein, soft tannins, and a velvety texture. The finish is long and delicately fruity. It is excellent with porchetta, Iberian ham, and goat cheese.

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
