Ovum Wines
Off The Grid Riesling
Oregon, USA
Ovum somehow escapes their deserved recognition. They have the attention of Terry Theise (distributes), but you don’t hear much buzz or excitement with each seasonal release. Off the Grid is big and expressive. It tingles my nose hairs. It’s naval orange blossom, flint, smoke, and petrol. The slightest off-dry, quietly confident.

Dec 21st, 2019If there is such a thing as wines that can conjure a personal connection irrespective of “greatness,” but a connection of language and dialect, this is one of those wines for me. The same is true of all Ovum wines I’ve tried - quiet wines of place. Voluptuous but not clamorous.
Green herbs and aloe. Ice box spiced lemon meringue pie. Fat and creamy. Minty lemony creme brûlée.

Quiet wines of place. You can’t help but fall in love. Ovum hits a few notes for me. 1. They are German inspired. 2. They are intrinsically culturally relevant. 3. They are unpretentious. Give this wine time and it will sing.
The aromas are deep, made of smokey, chalky limestone, white flowers, and honeyed peach. Texture and acid juxtaposed - flavors of ripe pear and yellow peaches.

Delicious. So we'll balanced. Sweet but perfectly backed up. Gorgeous. Had at Les Caves in Portland, which is wonderful place. #lescavepdx.
