The Story

Less than 30 miles from the Pacific, the Umpqua River bends into the town of Elkton. The coastal mountain influence is an ideal climate for white wines of exceptional acidity, and quiet aromats. Clay loam soils sit atop a thick slab of sandstone. This soil series combined with the alpine river valley/dry summer microclimate to yield an Aligote of measured ripeness, and deep transmission of place.

About Ovum

Producer Story

Founded in 2011 by John House & Ksenija Kostic House, Ovum was born out of the idea that Oregon Riesling has similar qualities to that found in world class growing regions. We set out to discover if our belief was reality drawing from all regions in Oregon. Our low intervention production is committed to allowing vintage & vineyard shine, for better or worse. We use native ferments, no subtractions or additions (except SO2) & extended lees. All of this is done in neutral acacia & oak barrels, and cement egg. Ovum is solely committed to white varieties. Each wine is produced the same way - variation has everything to do with the time & place, and little to do with the winemaker. Our hope is that through minimal handling & honest technique, we produce an old fashion wine in the modern world.
