Light yellow color, a tinge of orange. Starts with some interesting scents like pear, blood orange, and dried grass. Lots of those hay -like notes. Has a bit of salinity, but not like its “Big Salt” brother. Quite dry but paired well with some spicy Vietnamese dishes.

It’s Riesling and maybe something else. Proprietary vinification. Personally I prefer the Old Salt to this but it’s worth trying. The label promises blood orange, salty lemon and aloe vera flavors, which is fairly accurate. It’s dry, medium bodied (13.2% alc/vol) and a good drink, but is it a Riesling style you can embrace? Mostly, I can

What's with these Ovum wines being so available, so cheap, so charismatic. Theyr'e all over Texas and there's barely any information on the web site. Old Love I love just like Big Salt - underprice, over deliver. Makes me think of mountains. Opulent big alpine style - German or Northern Italian. Florals and fruits, more like Gerwutz than Riesling. Tastes like juicy naval orange, sour tangerine, white flowers. Everything I want when I don't want to think too hard.

Sweet ripe blood oranges on the nose and palate, some soft lemon acidity, a little salinity, rich and textured on the palate. Super yummy!!

Apple, honeysuckle on the nose, pleasant off-dry, medium bodied white. Crisp fall apple flavor, candied lemon/violet on the finish

Solid go to white. Could pair with many dishes and drinks well and a glass to enjoy on its own.
