Montsant DO DO Espectacle del Montsant René Barbier 2007

About the Producer Sara Pérez y René Barbier

Bringing together René Barbier Jr, son of René Barnier Sr, renowned for his outstanding achievements at Clos Mogador, and Sara Pérez, daughter of Jose Luis Pérez Ovejero, winemaker at Mas Martinet, it’s no surprise that this estate was destined to impress. After teaming up to launch the Venus la Universal project, the young oenologist couple set themselves a new challenge. In 2001, René Barbier Jr was offered the opportunity to purchase a small vineyard of old vines in the Priorat region of Spain. He and Sara decided to take over this abandoned estate and restore it. Today, they cultivate almost ten hectares of vines, following the guiding principle of viticulture that respects the terroir, and applying traditional and organic methods. They also source grapes from several winegrower friends who share their environmental ethos. The result is a collection of authentic vintages that reflect the young couple’s love of wine and their terroir.
