Odd Bird 'Presence' Organic, Vin de France, France

Fresh citrus, ripe orchard fruit, and floral spice open with aromatic lift and a firm mineral line. Odd Bird Presence Organic brings together Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Sylvaner, Viognier, and Sauvignon Blanc in an organically grown white blend that is naturally fermented, matured for twelve months, and gently dealcoholized at low temperature. Its layered texture and persistent freshness reflect Oddbird's focus on preserving the structure and character of traditionally made wine after alcohol removal.

Sensory Description:

Aromatic white flowers and fresh citrus lead into ripe pear, tropical fruit, and pink grapefruit, with gentle spice adding complexity. The palate balances roundness with vibrant acidity, allowing the broader texture of Viognier and Gewürztraminer to sit alongside the brighter structural contribution of Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. A mineral, lightly saline edge keeps the wine focused, carrying the fruit into a crisp and persistent finish.

Winemaker’s Background:

Oddbird was founded in Sweden in 2013 by Moa Gürbüzer after more than two decades of work as a social worker and family therapist dealing with alcohol-related harm. The family-founded company developed around the idea that choosing wine with or without alcohol should be an ordinary part of drinking culture rather than a compromise. Today, Oddbird works with traditionally vinified wines that are given time to mature before alcohol removal, placing particular emphasis on preserving aroma, texture, acidity, and structural balance. Presence applies that approach to organically grown aromatic white varieties from Alsace and southern France, with natural fermentation and extended maturation preceding dealcoholization.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve chilled at 8 to 10 degrees Celsius in a medium-sized white wine glass to give the floral, citrus, and tropical aromas room to develop while retaining its mineral freshness. Pair with grilled or poached fish, shellfish, lobster pasta, rice dishes, roast chicken, pork, aromatic vegetable dishes, or lightly spiced cuisine.
