Ovum Wines

Ovum Wines was founded in 2011 by John and Ksenija, who took the $27,000 they had spent nearly a decade saving for a house and started an Oregon winery instead. They launched with three Rieslings and a Gewürztraminer at a time when Oregon wine was largely defined by Pinot Noir, and their focus remains on aromatic, high-acid white wines that reflect their place. They work with vineyards across Oregon and the Pacific Northwest, ferment with native yeast, add very little, and age wines in neutral oak, Austrian cask, acacia, or cement egg depending on what suits the vintage. The lineup includes Rieslings such as Off the Grid, Memorista, and Toro y Scorpio, plus Gewürztraminer, Aligoté, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, and Syrah. Wine & Spirits has named Ovum a Top 100 Winery four times, and John was named one of Wine Enthusiast's 40 Under 40 Tastemakers.
