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.

2021 Off the Grid Riesling is a quintessential Ovum wine. Intensely aromatic with luscious texture one might expect from a red wine. The first thing you'll notice is the deep yellow color in the glass, this comes from aging white wine in Acacia wood barrels. Aromatics - ripe apricot, Eureka lemon, thyme. Richly textured, 2021 Off the Grid is a mouthful of wine. High acidity provides scaffolding and structure, and the 9gL of residual sugar is barely noticeable but lays the foundation for long aging.
