Ekam Essència sweet wine by Castell d'Encús is one of the most exclusive, rare, and mesmerizing elixirs in European viticulture, born under extreme conditions at nearly 1,000 meters above sea level in the Pyrenees under DO Costers del Segre. Conceived by master winemaker Raül Bobet, this single-varietal Riesling is crafted only in vintages where the weather permits a double miracle: the development of noble rot (Botrytis cinerea) alongside the natural freezing of the grapes on the vine. Following a heroic late winter harvest, cold-pressed and underwent an incredibly slow fermentation at very low temperatures, Ekam Essència achieves a prodigious sugar concentration kept in absolute harmony by a sharp, almost electric natural acidity. It is a mystical white wine, with a very limited production, destined to write history and deeply touch the souls of fine wine collectors worldwide.
Descriptive Tasting Note
In the glass, it reveals a captivating deep golden-yellow color, brilliant and almost amber, with dense tears sliding slowly down the sides showing its rich, luscious consistency. On the nose, it is an overflowing aromatic show of intense complexity, weaving together traces of bitter orange marmalade, dried apricots, quince, and acacia honey, wrapped by elegant undertones of wilted white flowers, chamomile, beeswax, and the signature petroleum-like mineral essence that defines the noblest aged Rieslings over time. On the palate, it stands as a masterpiece of balance: the entry is sumptuous, dense, pure velvet, offering a heavenly sweetness that caresses the mouth, yet immediately a vibrant, clean, razor-sharp alpine acidity takes over to refresh the palate entirely, preventing any heavy feeling. The finish is majestic, infinitely persistent and crisp, leaving a trace of candied fruit, honey, and a freezing mineral punch that lingers for minutes in the memory.
Groundbreaking Homemade Pairings
Intense blue cheese served on toasted rye bread crackers
A classic combo taken to its absolute peak. Ekam Essència’s dense, honeyed sweetness wraps around the salty, pungent kick of the blue cheese, while the wine's razor-sharp acidity cuts through the dairy fat, resetting the palate with every single sip.
Pan-seared foie gras with Maldon salt and a tart green apple reduction
A simple yet ultra-premium dining luxury at home. The wine's hints of glazed fruits and honey elevate the velvety texture of the foie gras, while the plate's sour apple twist mirrors the electric, crisp profile of the Pyrenean Riesling.
Homemade apple Tatin tart with a dash of cinnamon and lemon zest
The ultimate grand finale. Desserts often dull sweet wines, but this Riesling carries such intense citrus energy that the caramelized apples and the warm hint of cinnamon melt into the wine, resulting in a perfect playground of textures.
