Oregon may be known for its Burgundian style Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays, but “The Beaver State” also boasts a ton of vineyards planted to Alsatian varieties like Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Muscat. This charming white from Ovum is a blend of all three of those grapes, made in a fresh, focused style. Upon first sniff, the florals and spice of the Riesling and Gewurtztraminer really take center stage. But as the name suggests, Big Salt is not just incredibly expressive on the nose; it also finishes with a mouthwatering minerality that feels, well, like salt. This wine is like getting tossed under a wave with your mouth open, only a whole lot tastier.

Blend: 50% Riesling, 30% Gewurtztraminer, the remaining 20% Muscat and Sauvignon Blanc
