Reserva

2017 Douro Red Blend

The Odissea Jean-Hugues Gros Reserva is a captivating red blend from the stunning Douro region, renowned for its dramatic landscape and rich winemaking heritage. This 2017 vintage showcases a deep ruby color that hints at the complexity within. On the palate, it offers a full-bodied experience complemented by a generous level of acidity, which adds an invigorating brightness to the wine. The fruit intensity is pronounced, delivering a delightful medley of dark berries that intertwine beautifully with subtle notes of spice and oak. Tannins are notably structured, providing a firm backbone that promises excellent aging potential while still being approachable now. As a dry wine, it perfectly balances fruit and texture, making it an exceptional choice for both casual gatherings and elegant dinners.

Best known for its port dessert wine, Portugal is also home to some seriously worthwhile—though frequently overlooked—red and white table wines. This small country on the Iberian Peninsula has a wide range of climates, allowing it to produce everything from light and crisp whites in the Atlantic-cooled northwest to ripe and juicy reds in the hot and hilly Douro Valley. What often sets apart Portuguese wines is that they are often made from local grapes rather than more familiar international varieties. Difficult to pronounce (but a joy to drink!), common varietals include Touriga Nacional, Tinta Cão, and Loureiro.
