Ovum Wines
Ovum Wines
Oregon, USA
John and Ksenija House, the husband and wife team behind Ovum Wines, are committed to producing Riesling, Gewurztraminer and Muscat grapes from single sites in Oregon and Washington.
The name Ovum is a reference to the natural shape of eggs, as well as speaking to the life cycle of wine from grape to bottle and, while some of their wines are barrel aged, the ageing of others in egg-shaped concrete fermentation vessels.
Their wines, such as the famous Big Salt, are high in mouthwatering salinity with a distinctly relaxed easy-breezy feel, reflecting Ovum’s heritage on the Pacific Northwest coast of America and bottling the spirit of hot beach days and cool beach nights.
