I also tasted the just-bottled 2017 Ekam, a white produced mostly with Riesling with a touch of Albari?o. 2017 was a very dry year with small grapes. They try to combine the high acidity of the Riesling in a cool climate with a rounder character provided by some botrytis. It was cold-fermented in small stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts and kept with lees for five months before it was bottled. It felt so young and tender that it felt almost a sin to drink something like that. It's very balanced, clean, pure, transparent and harmonious. The palate is delicate but has inner power and strength, with focused, clean and chiseled flavors. Brilliant. 17,000 bottles and 100 magnums were filled in January 2018.
