Winemaker Notes

This wine was born out love, out of intuition. Faithful to their belief to recover part of their past, or their traditions, they chose to make a Mediterranean white wine using local grape varieties. Voluptuousness, elegance and rectitude. Words with a capital letter. This wine will remind you of the fragrances of autumn, ripe fruit, nuts and raisins, seed, an enchanting creamy texture with a long finish.

Blend: 50% Macabeu, 40% Garnatxa Blanca, 10% Cartoixa

    The white 2020 Dido Blanc was produced with a blend of Macabeo, Garnacha Blanca and Cartoixà (Xarel.lo) fermented in different containers, foudres, concrete and some barriques, where the wine also matured for around one year. They did a little more skin contact with the Macabeo, less than in 2018, with the limestone chalkiness and serious, stony sensations and with unnoticeable oak. 19,000 bottles were produced. They do as much white as they can, because they like the whites very much.

Venus La Universal, Spain
Venus La Universal Winery Image
Venus La Universal is the creation of young and super talented enologist Sara Perez, the driving force behind Mas Martinet in Priorat, and Dominio de Bibei in Galicia. Sara’s father Luis was -along with Rene Barbier- the driving force behind the emergence of Priorato twenty years ago… Venus debut vintage was a stunning 1999, quickly assuring the new Denominacion de Origen “Montsant” in 2001 with a serious place in the Spanish wine scene. Tiny quantities of two different wines come from a number of schist & granite composed parcels around the village of Falset at altitudes between 300-700 meters above sea level, and many times in steep terraces, all enjoying a warm, Mediterranean climate with dramatic day/night temperature changes. Today Sara has joined forces with her husband Rene Barbier Jr. making this an impossible to beat combination of talent, experience, and bringing their parents work full circle.

With hundreds of white grape varieties to choose from, winemakers have the freedom to create a virtually endless assortment of blended white wines. In many European regions, strict laws are in place determining the set of varieties that may be used in white wine blends, but in the New World, experimentation is permitted and encouraged. Blending can be utilized to enhance balance or create complexity, lending different layers of flavors and aromas. For example, a variety that creates a soft and full-bodied white wine blend, like Chardonnay, would do well combined with one that is more fragrant and naturally high in acidity. Sometimes small amounts of a particular variety are added to boost color or aromatics. Blending can take place before or after fermentation, with the latter, more popular option giving more control to the winemaker over the final qualities of the wine.

Surrounding the region of Priorat on all sides, Montsant shares much in common with its neighbor. Though its soils contain less schist than that of Priorat, its old Garnacha and Carinena vineyards produce wines of similar intensity and character.
