The wine's story:

Trepat is the local red grape of Conca de Barberà, usually made into light reds and rosés. Òrbita Venus makes it into an 11% red from two vineyards in Conca de Barberà. 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, which places them outside the appellation system. The range name Puños Fuera comes from the anime series Mazinger Z.

Winemaking:

100% Trepat. According to the importer Kensington Wine Market, portions with shorter and longer macerations, fermented with the stems, are blended. The wine ages in concrete tanks.

Tasting notes:

A light, fresh, peppery red. The Canadian wine shop Kensington Wine Market finds strawberry, raspberry, rose and a hint of pepper; Vine Arts adds fine tannins, bright acidity and a refreshing herbal finish.

Food pairing:

Lightly chilled with tapas and sausage – light, tangy Trepat suits salty snacks. Grilled salmon; mushroom risotto; chicken with herbs.

Òrbita Venus is a bold, experimental wine project uniting René Barbier Jr. (son of the Clos Mogador founder) and the young winemakers of Succés Vinícola in Conca de Barberà. Started around 2020, its aim is to take the Trepat grape to a new level, bringing out a depth and elegance not usually associated with light reds and rosés. René Jr., who runs Venus La Universal in Montsant together with Sara Pérez, brings a philosophy of minimalist winemaking and terroir expression. Succés Vinícola adds deep local knowledge of Trepat and organic viticulture in Conca de Barberà – a region of limestone-rich soils and a cooler climate, ideal for elegance and freshness. The name "Òrbita Venus" refers both to adventure and pushing boundaries and to Sara Pérez's Venus projects, which focus on the depth of Catalan terroir. Working with old Trepat vines in high-altitude vineyards lets them make naturally fermented wines of distinctive character.
