Orange Wine, Ovum 'Big Salt'

50% Pinot Gris/50% Skin Contact ‘Big Salt’

If you love ORANGE wines [white wines fermented on their skins], or wanted to explore what they're all about - Big Salt Orange Rose] is a good place to start. It has a sunset cranberry color that comes as a result of Pinot gris skins being blended with the tangerine hues of Big Salt.

Ovum Wines, founded in 2011 by John House and Ksenija Kostic House, is renowned for its focus on producing natural, expressive wines with minimal intervention. Their ‘Big Salt’ that makes up half of this skin contact blend, is a mixed bag of grapes, including Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Sauvignon Blanc, and Muscat. Intensely aromatic but dry, this wine feels exuberant with citrus, tropical fruits, and a lush texture. The organic ocean-facing vineyards impart a hint of the sea spray.
