The 2022 vintage of Big Salt is a co-fermentation of 10 vineyards located all across Oregon. From 1976 own-rooted vines in Oregon City, to the most Southern vineyard in the state in Cave Junction, Big Salt is a compilation of what Oregon has to offer.
Each vineyard lot is treated differently on the crush pad: from soaking Early Muscat on
skins for a few days, to Gewurz left on its skins for just a few hours, or direct pressing whole cluster Riesling. The juice, however, all goes into the same tank.
About Ovum
About Ovum
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. Their top priority is finding farmers that share our beliefs, and then getting out of the way so their hard work can be tasted. Their hands-off techniques allow for the expression of native yeasts, with no additions or alterations made to the wine save for a small amount of sulfur to ensure stability in the bottle.
