Ekata Estate is located near Krnjevo, near Šumadija vineyards and about an hour's drive from Belgrade. This is not a classic cellar, nor just a place of production. Ekata was conceived as a rakija estate where contemporary architecture, nature, art and rakija come together.

The name Ekata comes from Sanskrit and means unity or solidarity. It is this idea behind the whole property: two brothers, art and nature, brandy and wine, concrete and silence, all connected in one recognizable space.

Architecture that does not resemble any basement in the region Ekata Estate stands out at first glance. The circular building made of concrete, placed on several levels, acts as an architectural manifesto. The strict form, the raw space and the nature around it create an atmosphere that does not require decorations.

There is no excessive glamor or colorfulness here. Instead, the space relies on concrete, circle and silence. Light enters through carefully placed openings and changes the experience of the property during the day, so Ekata seems calm, strong and almost meditative.

That's why brandy here is not only seen as a product. It becomes part of a wider experience, in a space that encourages peace, conversation and mindful enjoyment.
Own plantations as the basis of quality
Ekata Estate relies on its own plantations, which allows better quality control from the beginning of the process. The estate has 14 hectares of plum vines, as well as vineyards with two hectares of Sauvignon Blanc, along with one hectare each of Cabernet Franc and Merlot.
Such a foundation gives the estate a clear direction. Ranka plum occupies a special place in the production of brandy, while grape varieties create the foundations for the development of the wine part of the story.

This combination of orchards and vineyards makes Ekata a place where the two worlds do not separate, but complement each other.

Large capacity basement under the circular building
In the lower part of the building there is an impressive basement, partly buried underground. Its capacities show the seriousness of the project and the ambition to make Ekata Estate more than a small production space.

The cellar has 225,000 liters of fermentation tanks and another 27,000 liters for aging. It also contains a carefully selected collection of top quality wooden barrels, between 60 and 70 pieces.
