Raul Bobet 曾任西班牙名莊 Torres 首席釀酒師，是西班牙酒界的傳奇。他因關注全球暖化，而選擇在庇利牛斯山 1,000 米高海拔地區栽種葡萄，釀出 Riesling、Semillon 與 Pinot Noir 等令人驚豔的作品，展現西班牙的優雅一面。
Castell d'Encus 酒莊位於加泰隆尼亞 Talarn 村，旁邊有 12 世紀僧侶石窖，Raul 以古法結合現代技術釀造，並以地熱能源驅動酒莊，理念是保持新鮮度、優雅與複雜性。
另外 Raul 喜愛哲學和冥想，他的產品皆以梵文或以葡萄生長的地方命名。Ekam 在梵語中的意思是「神聖的合一」。他的理念很簡單 :
"我們希望釀造出風格非常清晰的葡萄酒，以保持新鮮度為支柱，避免過度成熟和萃取。 我們追求優雅和含蓄，但不放棄葡萄酒的複雜性和圓潤感。 毫無疑問，從這個意義上說，葡萄發揮主要作用。"
他的理念看似簡單，卻需要在葡萄種植與釀造細節上投入極大的心力與管理。背後有熟練的團隊支持，才能在難以預測的天氣下依然釀出令人一口感動的佳釀。如今，Castell d'Encus 已是近年世界舞台上，最令人振奮的西班牙酒莊。
此酒未經清澄，會自然產生沉澱物。鮮明的酸度令它更具陳年潛力，只要在適當條件下保存即可。

(Robert Parker's rating: 92 points)
我品嚐過 2020 年和 2021 年。2021年的 Ekam 雖然年輕，卻比 2020 年成熟一點，酸度非常充足，Riesling 是主要成分，被少許 Albariño 軟化……精緻、柔軟、溫柔，純淨而平衡，乾淨而精確。(酒評人Luis Gutiérrez)
Raul Bobet, once the chief winemaker at Torres, is a legendary figure in Spanish wine. Driven by climate concerns, he planted vineyards at 1,000 meters in the Pyrenees, producing Riesling, Semillon, and Pinot Noir that showcase a refined side of Spain.
Castell d’Encus lies in Talarn, Catalonia, beside 12th‑century stone cellars carved by monks. Bobet combines these ancient methods with modern techniques, powering the winery sustainably with geothermal energy. His philosophy is to preserve freshness, elegance, and complexity.
Raul is also deeply interested in philosophy and meditation, and he names his wines either in Sanskrit or after the places where the grapes grow. Ekam means divine unity in Sanskrit.
His guiding principle is simple:
“Fresh, fine, elegant, complex wines of exceptional quality — crafted with minimum intervention, where the vineyard and grapes take the leading role.”
His philosophy may seem simple, but it demands meticulous care in vineyard and cellar, backed by a skilled team able to craft wines that inspire even under unpredictable weather. Today, Castell d’Encus stands among Spain’s most exciting wineries on the global stage.
Unfiltered, this wine naturally develops sediment. Its bright acidity gives it greater aging potential than most natural wines, provided it is stored under proper conditions.

Tasting Notes:
(Robert Parker's rating: 92 points)
I tasted two vintages—2020 and 2021—of the dry white blend of Riesling and Albariño. The youngest of which is the 2021 Ekam, and it's a little riper than the 2020 but still high in acidity (with a pH 2.91 and seven grams of tartaric acid) and with some five grams of residual sugar. It's a majority of Riesling softened by a touch of Albariño...It's varietal and delicate, soft and tender with purity and balance, clean and precise. 30,000 bottles and 300 magnums produced.
