Ekam 2022

High altitude Riesling, planted at over 1000m above sea level. This is very Mosel in style, with its delicate, zesty frame, fresh green fruits, white flowers and petrol character. Off-dry and well balanced by the piercing acidity, this is a very convincing Riesling. It would be a nightmare to blind taste accurately, but a joy to drink! 2022-2034. 

The super pale, almost transparent 2022 Ekam is mostly Riesling with a splash of Albariño that fermented in small stainless steel tanks. Produced with ripe grapes, it achieved 13% alcohol with a pH of 2.9 and retained seven grams of acidity and 5.6 grams of residual sugar, and it comes through as a powerful kabinett style with an elegant and subtle nose. A small portion of the grapes had developed botrytis, which gives subtle aromas of lanolin and peach and density in the palate. It's balanced and elegant with the acidity compensating the sugar and with the dry, chalky texture form the limestone soils. 30,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in May 2023 after nine months in tank with the lees. (Luis Gutiérrez)
