Ovum Wines, founded in 2011 by John House & Ksenija Kostic House, is dedicated to showcasing the unique terroirs of Oregon through low-intervention winemaking. Their philosophy emphasizes letting the vintage and vineyard shine, with native ferments, no additions or subtractions except for SO2, and extended lees contact. The Aligoté grapes for this specific wine are sourced from the Elkton Oregon AVA, where coastal mountain influence creates an ideal climate for white wines with exceptional acidity and clay-loam soils over a sandstone layer contribute to the wine's unique mineral character.
