This is not your average poolside rosé — it’s a serious, characterful wine that just happens to be pink, and it’s one of the most exciting bottles I’ve brought in this year. It comes from Sara Pérez and René Barbier at Venus La Universal in Montsant, two of the most talented winemakers in Catalonia, and it has the depth and texture of a proper wine with the freshness of a great rosé.
It’s an unusual field blend — Garnacha leads, with Macabeo, Tempranillo, Carignan and a splash of Garnacha Blanca — grown on granite and limestone soils. Everything is pressed together and fermented slowly over six months in old barrels, then aged further in seasoned foudres and even a clay amphora. That long, patient ageing is what gives it real complexity and the structure to last.
The colour is a pale Provence-style salmon. On the nose it’s mineral and stony, with white fruit, Mediterranean herbs and a touch of rose petal. The palate surprises you — broad, almost succulent, with the volume of the Garnacha and a long, savoury, refreshing finish.
Drink it well chilled, around 10–12°C, with grilled prawns, paella, fresh tuna, salads or a board of charcuterie. It’s far too good to keep just for summer.
