Established in 2011 by Ksenija and John House, Ovum was founded in hopes of producing Oregon white wines that are honest reflections of time and place. Their low intervention production method is a commitment to letting the vintage and vineyard shine, not the vintner. Fruit comes first – Their top priority is finding farmers that share our beliefs, and then getting out of the way so their hard work can be tasted. Native ferments, no subtractions or additions, except for SO2 -extended lees contact 8-9 months, for textural complexity. Ovum is solely committed to the production of white wines, mainly Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Muscat. At Ovum, each wine is produced the same way – if the wine smells and tastes different, it has everything to do with terroir, and little to do with the winemaker. Their hope is that through attention to detail and honest technique, they can produce old fashioned wines in the modern world.
“Drinking an OVUM wine should be like listening to AM Radio, in Stereo.”
