Odisseia Reserva Red 75cl
17,90 €
For the Odisseia Reserva blend, grapes from the Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and some Tinta Roriz varieties are selected, from the slopes of the Torto and Távora rivers, from vines over 20 years old. The best grapes are chosen in the vineyard and vinified separately in stainless steel tanks with temperature control at 25ºC.
Half of the final batch ages in new French oak casks for 9 months.
It is a wine that is characterized by elegance, the quality of the fruit and a well-matched wood that does not hide the fruit. Concentrated, with mature tannins, it is a wine with aging potential, although it is very enjoyable to drink in the first few years after being bottled.
Description
It was in 2004 that the first ODISSEIA wines were produced. But Jean-Hugues Gros had already been working in the Douro since 1999.
He found wine potential in this region that allowed him to develop a diversity of terroir, elegant and versatile wines.
After completing the oenology course and several internships in Burgundy in 1992, Jean-Hugues Gros had the unique opportunity to spend 16 months at Sandeman, in Porto. And that was how the discovery of Port wines, the enchanting Douro region and its wines began.
After some more experiences in California and Champagne, the definitive return was in 1999 to work at Quinta do Convento de São Pedro das Águias, a small Port wine company located next to the Távora river, near Tabuaço. Today, Jean-Hugues is a producer and also a winemaking consultant for several Quintas do Douro.
