Oddbird Spumante (0,5% alcohol)

Winemaker Oddbird on the winery

“We are Oddbird, founded on the belief that great wine does not have to depend on alcohol. We work with carefully selected winegrowers across Europe and allow our wines to ferment using traditional winemaking methods first. Only once the wine has fully developed its character do we remove the alcohol through a carefully controlled low-temperature process. This helps us preserve the original aromas, freshness and structure as much as possible. Our goal is to create alcohol-free wines that deserve to be taken seriously, with distinctive character, a commitment to quality and plenty of reasons to enjoy them together.”

And on Veneto, Italy

“For our Spumante, we use 100% Glera from Treviso in Italy’s Veneto region, an area best known for Prosecco. The grapes grow on clay, marl and sandstone soils. We press them gently and ferment the juice at a cool temperature in stainless-steel tanks to preserve the fresh fruit aromas. After ageing for up to twelve months, we remove the alcohol using a method designed to minimise the impact on the wine. The result is a lively sparkling wine with aromas of white pear, green apple, elderflower and grapefruit. Fresh acidity and fine bubbles create a crisp, refreshing finish.”
