Description

Every year, with her Sidecar project, Susana Esteban invites a prestigious winemaker to make a singular wine together at her Alentejo winery. The Sidecar 2018/19 edition is her latest collaboration with Ricardo Diogo, producer and winemaker at Madeira's emblematic Barbeito.

This blend of vintages is made exclusively from Alicante Bouschet, from 70-year-old vines in the Serra de São Mamede, aged in old Italian wine barrels. The result is of extraordinary complexity, structure and elegance, in a limited production of 2,100 bottles and 50 magnums.

Susana Esteban is one of Portugal's winemakers to watch. In 2012 she received the most prestigious award a winemaker can get in Portugal, “Winemaker of the Year” from Revista de Vinhos, and remains the only woman to have received it.

Very balsamic and earthy in a forest-floor profile, with ripe wild berries and a minty touch, eucalyptus leaf and lots of white pepper. Very elegant, but very lively in its bright yet silky tannins; super pure in fruit, broad and nervy. Still young, with huge potential to grow in bottle.
