Odisseia Branco

Description

Vinification: The grapes are pressed and the must is decanted for 2–3 days at 10 °C. After clarification, fermentation takes place at 14 °C for 3–4 weeks. At the end of fermentation, the wine is separated from the heavier lees and will age in stainless‑steel tanks until bottling. Until the end of December, the finer lees will be lifted once a week (batonnage). Suggestions: Pairs well with appetizers, shellfish and grilled fish. Store lying down, in a cool, dry place, protected from light and temperature swings. Serve at 8–9 °C. Consume in moderation. Awards and Recommendations 2019 Robert Parker – Wine Advocate, Mark Squires, USA | 88/100 PTS, “Juicy and tasty, with a peach‑like overlay (but very dry) and a hint of lime, this is solid for the level and tastes just great. The fruit matches the intensity, leaving a well‑balanced wine. Drink this now or hold it for a few years. This runs around seven to eight euros in Portugal.” 2018 Revista de Vinhos, Guilherme Corrêa, Portugal | 16.5/20 PTS, “Medium lemon. Floral, aromatic, very distinctive. Pears dominate the fruit profile, followed by high‑quality oak. Medium structure, flowers and grapefruit on the palate, all in harmony, perfumed finish.” Revista de Vinhos, Portugal | Boa Compra Vinho Grandes Escolhas seal, Luís Ramos Lopes, Portugal | 16.5/20 PTS, “A white with delicate aroma, with notes of pineapple, pear, some floral and mature citrus. The citrus component is much more evident on the palate, giving it a good balance and freshness. Long, precise finish, with lemony hints.” Vinhos Grandes Escolhas, Portugal | Boa Escolha seal 2016 Catavinum World Wine & Spirits Competition, Spain | Silver
