2024 Ovum "Pink Salt" Rosé, Columbia Gorge, Oregon, USA
Bold, textural, and electrically fresh, the 2024 “Pink Salt” from Ovum is a genre-defying rosé that leans into the tension between ripeness and restraint. With aromas of red cherry, green fig, and coastal herbs, the palate explodes with tangy red fruit, mineral salt, and a subtle earthy grip. Brisk acidity and a savory edge lead to a long, saline finish—distinctly Oregonian, yet unlike any rosé you've had.

ABOUT THIS WINE
Made from 99% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from a certified organic vineyard in the Columbia Gorge AVA, “Pink Salt” gets its name from both its salty character and its subtly copper-rose hue. The grapes undergo an 8-hour skin soak before gentle pressing, followed by native yeast fermentation, full malolactic conversion, and aging in neutral oak and concrete egg on the lees. A dash of Ovum’s signature white blend “Big Salt” helps kick off fermentation. No fining or filtration and minimal sulfur are used. The result is a dry, mouthwatering rosé with a red wine soul—perfect with grilled pork, salmon crudo, or tomato-laced Mediterranean dishes.
