It was in 2004 that the first ODISSEIA wines were produced. But Jean-Hugues Gros had already been working in the Douro since 1999.<\/p>\n
He found wine potential in this region that allowed him to develop a diversity of terroir, elegant and versatile wines.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
After some more experiences in California and Champagne, the definitive return was in 1999 to work at Quinta do Convento de S\u00e3o Pedro das \u00c1guias, a small Port wine company located next to the T\u00e1vora river, near Tabua\u00e7o. Today, Jean-Hugues is a producer and also a winemaking consultant for several Quintas do Douro.<\/p>\n

The grapes come from 3 areas of the Douro, with altitudes between 450 and 650 m and granite sun.<\/p>\n
The varieties selected are mostly\u00a0Rabigato<\/em>,\u00a0Viosinho<\/em>\u00a0It is\u00a0Larinho Codega<\/em>, from vines over 20 years old.<\/p>\n The grapes are pressed and the must is decanted for 2 days at 10\u00baC. After being cleaned, fermentation takes place partially in 500-liter French oak casks and the rest in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 14\u00baC for 3 to 4 weeks. At the end of fermentation, the wine is separated from the thicker lees. The wine will age with\u00a0lipstick<\/em>\u00a0weekly until the end of January and the final batch will be made in February, to be bottled between April and June.<\/p>\n The White Reserve, being partially fermented and aged in French oak casks, is a complex wine, combining citrus notes with the elegance of new wood. In the mouth it presents a fine acidity, a well-matched minerality and a long finish.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":17421,"template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"iawp_total_views":16},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[157,185,188],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-17420","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-vinhos","7":"product_cat-branco","8":"product_cat-douro-branco","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/17420","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17421"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17420"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=17420"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=17420"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/garrafeiragrandeescolha.pt\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=17420"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
