Ovum Big Salt
Proprietary blend of cofermented Muscat, Riesling and Gewrztraminer. Spicy, penetrating aromas of pear blossoms, ginger and kumquat lead into a lively palate with citrus skin flavor, a dash of sea salt and drying minerality. It's a well-balanced, unique white wine with splendid food pairing options."
Native ferments, no subtractions or additions, except for SO2 - extended lees contact 8-9 months, for textural complexity. Allof this is done in neutral barrels of acacia and oak, as well as cement egg and Austrian cask. Ovum is solely committed tothe 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. Our hope is that through our attention to detail and honest technique, we can produce old fashioned wines in the modern world.
