Ksenija House is a female winemaker who co-founded Ovum in 2011. All her wines are certified organic and reflect a commitment to letting the vintage, the land, and the grapes shine. The Riesling for these bottles comes from volcanic soil atop Dundee Hills, OR. The soil, itself, imparts strong minerality and salinity. Day Moon’s initial fermentation is done in amphora, and then ages the base wine in barrel for 1-2 years. After the second fermentation, it’s aged for two more years in bottle.
