Grapes: 100% Riesling

Established in 2011 by Ksenija and John House, Ovum was founded in hopes of producing Oregon wines that are honest reflections of time and place. Their low intervention production method favors native ferments, no subtractions or additions, except for SO2 - extended lees contact 8-9 months, for textural complexity.

2018 Base Line may be the best Riesling Ovum has produced thus far. It has an intoxicating nose of guava, passion fruit, strawberry, sea spray, and aloe vera, and yet this wine is completely dry. It will fool you with it's aromatics because once it hits your palate you feel the weight of a medium to full bodied wine that is similar to a extended lees aged white Burgundy. However it also has the laser like acidity of a cool climate Riesling and simply drinks well above it's price!
