The wine's story:
Macabeu Trepat combines Conca de Barberà's white Macabeu and red Trepat in one pink wine. Earlier vintages of the range were also aged under a layer of flor yeast – a technique known from Jerez that can give the wine characteristic saline and nutty nuances. There is no appellation on the bottle: it is a Spanish wine without a DO.
Òrbita Venus is a project of René Barbier Meyer (Venus La Universal) and friends. According to a 2024 article in Ara, the grapes are bought from the Conca de Barberà wineries Succés Vinícola and Carlania, and the wines are made in the Sindicat La Figuera cellar; the Puños Fuera range was Òrbita Venus's first.
Winemaking:
Made from Macabeu and Trepat, 13% alcohol (producer invoice). According to the 2023 technical sheet, the blend was 50% Macabeu and 50% Trepat from two Conca de Barberà vineyards; the grapes were pressed directly, and the wine aged for eight months in old 500-litre barrels and then for 8–9 months under flor. No separate technical sheet has been published for 2024.
Tasting notes:
diWine's guidance: no critic or producer tasting notes have been published for 2024. Based on how earlier vintages were made, a dry, fresh pink wine can be expected, with red berries from the Trepat and texture from the Macabeu.
Food pairing:
Tapas and Ibérico sausages – the fresh, savoury wine suits salty snacks. Grilled salmon; roast chicken; semi-hard cheese.
