Ovum's take on Aligoté shows restraint in terms of alcohol but not flavor. White grapefruit and wet granite aromas in no way prepare you for the wine's savory green olive, white button mushroom and lemon butter flavors. Look for softer acidity, with a rich mouthfeel. Try this wine with a plate of freshly shucked Yaquina Bay oysters. ... More details

Ovum Aligote smells like clean ocean air. You can almost feel the cold waters of the Umpqua River flowing through the wine–in the nose and on the palate. Hints of blueberry and green fig are hidden in the salty depths if you smell close enough. This is texture, palate driven wine–where it is at once lighter than air, and richer than grass-fed butter all at the same time. Its quiet demeanor has us leaning in to taste more, and the closer we get, the more there is to love.

Region: Oregon

Whilst the Oregon wine industry didn't really take off until the 1960s, it actually has a wine-making history which stretches back to the pioneer days, with the first successful vineyards being cultivated back in the early 19th century. Today, Oregon is the United States' third biggest wine producing state, with over three hundred wineries operating there and making the most of the cooler climatic conditions which characterise much of the region, and have proved ideal for the growing of a range of fine grape varietals. The state is best known for their Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir wines, but also produces excellent Chardonnay, Merlot and Riesling grapes. The valleys and mountainsides of Oregon are also excellent for producing Old World classic varietals alongside American hybrid grapes, and the state has become renowned as a trailblazer in the field of organic, vegan and biodynamic wines.

Country: United States

Whilst there are several strains of native grape varietals in the United States, it was the introduction of the European species which prompted the country to begin producing wines on a large scale. Over the past few centuries, experimentation and cross-breeding has produced great successes in regards to the quality and suitability of the fruit grown in states such as California, Oregon, Washington and New York, and the past few decades have seen New World wines from the United States reach much higher standards. Arguably the finest United States wines have always come out of California, where the climate and terrroir is most suitable for fine wine production. The masterful blending of classic grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, amongst others including Syrah and Chardonnay, have had world beating results in recent years, prompting many to suggest that there has never been a better time for buying and drinking United States wines.
