Made with Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Syrah plucked from vines a half-century old, this wine rested in neutral French oak for a year. The balanced, medium-bodied Old Vine possesses muscular tannins, jangly acidity and a chalky texture. Aromas and flavors of blackberry jam, orange zest, earthy beeswax and cumin seed make for a joyous experience. (Editors’ Choice) ... More details

2022 Ovum Old Vine Red has a translucent ruby color that saturates into deep red. Intensely aromatic – perfectly ripe Bing cherry dusted with charred thyme, blueberry and sage. Multi-layered fruit and dried herbal notes lead to medium bodied palate, filled with fruit and soft tannin. The finish has a noticeable grip reminiscent of old school Bordeaux, which leads us to believe this bottling may have aging potential in the 5-10 year range.

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

The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
