Garnatxa, 2016. Venus de la Figuera

Venus de La Figuera, made by Sara Perez and Rene Barbier, is exclusively Garnacha from the town of Figuera, in Montsant. Sara and Rene oenologically advise the 3 partners of the town's cooperative project and, in return, they lease their Guixs plot to make the wine. The strains, planted on clay-calcareous soils, are located at 600 metres of altitude, in the highest area of the municipality. After its fermentation in open 500-liter barrels, the wine went to a 2,500-liter foudre for 18 months. 2016 is the new vintage of a red wine that, thanks to its variety, its soil and its altitude, expresses the freshest, finest and most elegant face of Montsant's Grenache.
