Ovum ‘Pink Salt’ Rose

Ovum ‘Pink Salt’ Rosé is not your typical blush wine, it’s a carefully crafted expression of place, terroir, and traditional winemaking philosophy. Hailing from the dramatic slopes of Oregon’s Columbia Gorge, the wine comes from certified-organic Cabernet Sauvignon vines rooted in ancient volcanic ash and mineral-rich soils. These vineyards draw on the region’s distinctive geology, lending a subtle saline edge and a naturally vibrant structure that makes this rosé stand out.

A major part of the wine’s character comes from Ovum’s low-intervention approach. Grapes are destemmed, given a brief soak on the skins, then pressed and fermented with native yeasts. The wine is neither fined nor filtered, and undergoes full malolactic fermentation with only a minimal addition of sulfur. This hands-off technique allows the fruit’s purity to shine, preserving both texture and authenticity without manipulation.

In the glass, the wine shows a delicate pale-pink hue, but the aromas are surprisingly expressive. Bright cherry, fresh currant, and green fig rise immediately, supported by faint floral and herbal undertones. There is a richness to the aroma that nods toward red-wine depth while still keeping true to the refreshing profile of a rosé.

On the palate, Ovum ‘Pink Salt’ Rosé brings lively, zesty acidity, crisp, mouthwatering, and structured. The fruit character remains elevated yet balanced, never veering into sweetness. The finish is where the wine’s name reveals itself: a whisper of salinity and a lightly sweet cherry note combine into a clean, lingering impression that encourages another sip.

At 12.5% ABV, this rosé is lightweight, approachable, and highly versatile. It performs beautifully on its own, especially chilled, but also shines alongside seafood, salads, grilled vegetables, or charcuterie. Whether enjoyed at a summer gathering or savored with a light dinner, Ovum ‘Pink Salt’ Rosé offers a distinctive, terroir-driven experience with depth, personality, and refreshing character.
