2022 Venus de la Figuera

Venus de la Figuera 2022 is a soulful red from Catalonia that captures the character and energy of Venus la Universal’s biodynamic approach. Made in very limited quantities, it reflects the winery’s commitment to expressive, site-driven wines with a distinctly Mediterranean identity. The cuvée takes its name from the fig tree that has long been part of the landscape, adding a sense of place and local heritage to the wine’s story.

Tasting Notes
This wine typically shows a deep, vivid ruby color with a polished, youthful edge. Aromas tend to lean toward ripe red and dark berries, Mediterranean herbs, wildflowers, and a subtle earthy spice, giving the wine a fragrant and inviting profile. On the palate, it is usually medium- to full-bodied with a juicy core of fruit, fine-grained tannins, and fresh acidity that keeps everything lifted and balanced. The finish is often savory and mineral, making it a red that can be enjoyed young but should also develop additional complexity over the next 5–8 years.

Production
Venus de la Figuera comes from Catalonia, where warm Mediterranean conditions are moderated by altitude and a mix of limestone and other stony soils that help preserve freshness in the grapes. Venus la Universal works with a careful, hands-on philosophy, focusing on healthy vineyards and minimal intervention in the cellar. Harvesting is typically done by hand, followed by gentle vinification to preserve purity, texture, and the wine’s natural sense of place.

Food & Serving
This red is a versatile partner for roasted lamb, grilled pork, poultry with herbs, mushroom dishes, and Mediterranean cuisine such as escalivada or tomato-based tapas. Serve it slightly cool, around 16–18°C, to emphasize its freshness and aromatics. Decanting for 20–30 minutes is a good idea if you want the wine to open up and show more nuance.

Venus la Universal is a respected Catalan producer known for thoughtful, terroir-focused wines and a biodynamic mindset. The winery has built a strong reputation for making expressive wines that balance ripeness, freshness, and elegance, while staying true to the landscape of the region.
