Sara Pérez is the wife of Rene Barbier who makes the famous Clos Mogador, Espectacle and Manyetes. Sara Pérez is also in charge of the Clos Martinet family estate. She also works closely with her brother Adria at Cims de Porrera. Father JoséLuis Pérez, one of the important figures in the Spanish wine world, is proud of his children. He remains active in various wine projects. Together with her husband René Barbier (Clos Mogador), Sara Pérez owns and vinifies two beautiful wines at Venus La Universal. As a tribute to every small food manufacturer from the 1920s who wanted to become big, Sara has named this mini-domain Compania Universal de Vinos. There at 'La Uni', as she likes to call it, she created almost the mother of all feminine wines: Venus. And 'Dido' is the more than exemplary daughter of 'Venus'. New is the Dido Blanco, a complex white wine based on Macabeo and Garnacha Blanca, with partial fermentation in French oak. The wine deserves some bottle aging and is best served in large glasses. Elegant 'feminine' wines with lots of style.

The Dido La Universal Blanco was born from intuition and the need to make wine mainly from grapes of local grape varieties. According to Sara and Rene Barbier, this is the way to make good wine as they strongly believe that the grapes belong to the terroir (a bit like a Pinot Noir belongs to Burgundy - it can of course be grown somewhere else, but then it also tastes different). The wine is a blend Garnatxa blanca (white Grenache), Macabeu (Viura) and Cartoixà (xarel·lo).

15% of the grapes are macerated with skins for 3/5 days in open barrels to make the sourdough (pie de cuba) to obtain the native yeasts, then another 20% are macerated with skins for 24 hours and the rest goes directly to the press. 30% is matured in a 3000l Amphora (clay) and the 70% in various oak barrels from 300l to 4000l for 14 months. The wine is certified organic and is grown and produced in a purely natural way and has wonderful storage potential.

The Dido Blanco is straw yellow in the glass with a slightly greenish tinge. The Dido is a voluptuous wine with scents of autumn, ripe fruit, raisins and the typical dry slightly oxidative touch (nutty) in the nose, which makes the wine a gastronomic stunner. In the mouth the wine is fresh, pure, nice acidity and well balanced. The Dido Blanco is a very tempting wine and certainly not an "average"

Press wine April 2022 — 4.5* in the Catalunya, Navarra and Aragón Special " Smell: pear, peach, flowers, wax, vanilla. Taste: powerful and thick, ripe, lush, beautifully matured ."

Venus la universal is the project of Sara Pérez she is the wife of Rene Barbier who makes the famous Clos Mogador, Espectacle and Manyetes. Sara Pérez is also in charge of the Clos Martinet family domain. In addition, she works closely with her brother Adria on Cims de Porrera. Father José Luis Pérez, one of the most important figures in the Spanish wine world, is proud of his children. He himself remains active in various wine projects. Sara Pérez owns and vinifies two beautiful wines on Venus La Universal, together with her husband René Barbier (Clos Mogador). As a tribute to every small food manufacturer from the 1920s who wanted to become big, Sara has baptized this mini-domain Compania Universal de Vinos. There on 'La Uni', as she likes to call it, she has created almost the mother of all feminine wines: Venus. And 'Dido' is the more than exemplary daughter of 'Venus'.

René and Sara took the goddess Venus as inspiration for this project. One of their goals is therefore to "interpret femininity through a bottle of wine". This may seem like a strange choice for a bodega working out Grenache and Carignan wines in Southern Catalonia, but it makes sense once you've tasted it. These are incredibly elegant, refined, sensual expressions from the Denominació d'Origen Montsant, with understated alcohol levels and enormous texture.

The grapes for the wines come from vineyards owned by four different grape-growing families in Falset, as well as another small plot owned by Venus. You could call Venus a negociative project, but it is more correct to say that it is a partnership between these four families and René and Sara. Venus is the sole customer of these small growers, so their grapes are grown in accordance with the strict ecological standards set by the couple. The grapes for Dido come from the Falset area, from vineyards with soils based on decomposed granite called sauló. These soils are low in organic matter and contribute to the production of grapes with great ripeness and fruit aromas. The grapes for Venus come from clay-limy soils between Marçà and Guiamets. These soils promote a slow, elegant and complex maturity.
