The aroma and taste reveal fresh Granny Smith apple, lime, and lemon zest, with subtle notes of honey and almond. The fine mousse, fresh acidity, and light creaminess create a beautiful balance. The finish is clean, fresh, and elegant. A surprisingly mature style for an alcohol-free sparkling wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine \u0026amp; Food \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelicious as an aperitif and, of course, perfect for a festive occasion.

The vineyards benefit from abundant sunshine, while the Tramontane, a well-known regional wind, provides cooling. This helps preserve the freshness in the grapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe current Blanc de Blancs is made from Chardonnay and Colombard. Chardonnay provides structure, citrus, and freshness, while Colombard adds extra fruity and floral aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat's special is the long aging process: the base wine ages for approximately 12 months on its fine lees. This gives the wine more texture and complexity. Only then is the alcohol carefully removed via low-temperature vacuum distillation, with Oddbird striving to preserve the original aromas and structure as much as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOddbird was founded in 2013 in Gothenburg, Sweden, by Moa Gürbüzer. Moa worked for over twenty years as a social worker and family therapist and saw firsthand how many problems alcohol can cause within families. From that experience came her idea not only to help people already struggling with alcohol problems but also to change the way we view alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer vision was actually very simple: the question \"Would you like your wine with or without alcohol?\" should become as normal as asking if you want coffee with or without milk. From that idea, Oddbird was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWant to discover more \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/oddbird\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #B2002B\"\u003ealcohol-free wines from Oddbird\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards and Recognitions \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e92 points\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e🥇 Gold Medal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e🏆 Best Non-Alcoholic Sparkling of the Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e🏆 Best Non-Alcoholic White of the Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFun Fact\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOddbird allows this wine to age for no less than 12 months on its fine lees before the alcohol is removed. This first creates a fully developed wine with more complexity and texture. Only then does de-alcoholization follow. Essentially, Oddbird first makes the wine and then removes the alcohol, rather than the other way around. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OddBird","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58944373522757,"sku":"LS8433","price":12.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1078\/1183\/2133\/files\/d00b6bd41d2010631bca55553a6945821a778042.jpg?v=1787300000","url":"https:\/\/vechtstreekwijnen.nl\/en\/products\/oddbird-blanc-de-blancs","provider":"Vechtstreek Wijnen","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
