Castell d’Encus Ekam 2019 (93 WA)

“It’s mostly Riesling that softened by a touch of Albariño, and it fermented in stainless steel and was kept with the lees for six months. It reminds me of the little-known category of German wine called feinherb, where the wines are delicate and have a touch of sugar, a little more than a trocken. It’s more gentle, more open and less sweet than the 2018. There is great purity and balance, and it’s subtle, elegant and very clean. Like most of these wines, it has the acidity, stuffing and balance to develop in bottle.” – LG
