Regional Alentejano

Cabriolet

In 2015, for the first time since I made wines in the Alentejo, the Touriga Nacionalvariety surprised me by its sharpness and complexity. I decided to bottle the caste in 2017, and so the first Cabriolet was born, which will only “circulate” again when a certain breed in a given year will surprise us again. The vintage was handled in boxes of 20 kg with strict choice at the entrance of the cellar. Winemaking was carried out in temperature controlled wineries.

Susana Esteban was born at Tui, northern Spain. She has a degree at Chemestry by Santiago de Compostela University and a master degree at Enology by La Rioja University. She started working as a winemaker at Quinta do Côtto, Douro, in 1999. In 2002 she moved to Quinta do Crasto, also in the Douro valley, where she worked as winemaker until 2007. Since 2007 she has worked as a consultant for several Alentejo wineries including Tiago Cabaço wines, Herdade do Barrocal, Monte dos Cabaços and Monte da Raposinha. Throughout her career she managed to accumulate a fair share of awards. In 2012 she managed to receive the award of “Best winemaker of the Year” by Revista dos Vinhos, being the only female winemaker to receive so far such an award. At the end of 2009 Susana Esteban decided to establish herself as a wine producer starting her personnel project. She decided to make wines full of character in a slightly different style of the Alentejo traditional way.
