Castell D'Encús Ekam Branco

Description

The wine producer Castell d'Encús is located in the Encús mountains, in the Pallars region of Spain. The estate dates back to the 12th century, when monks of the Order of St. John established a village in the area. The monks also built nine stone-fermentation vats, which are still used today to produce wine. The current winery was founded in 2002 with the aim of reviving the history and tradition of wine production in the region. The winery operates according to organic viticulture principles, and the wines are produced in small batches to ensure quality and uniqueness. The winery’s vineyards are spread over three different sites, each with its own microclimate. The grape varieties grown include Garnacha, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Macabeo. The wines of Castell d'Encús are known for their freshness and vibrant acidity. They are produced using traditional methods, but also with an innovative approach. The winery uses medieval stone fermenters, stainless‑steel tanks, and French oak barrels to create wines with varying tones and nuances. (illustrative image only)
