Susana Esteban
Description
Data of interest
Born in Tuy (Pontevedra), Susana Esteban holds a degree in Chemistry from the University of Santiago de Compostela and a master's degree in Enology from the University of La Rioja. She began working as an enologist at Quinta do Côtto (Douro) in 1999, and in 2002 she moved to Quinta do Crasto, where she worked as an enologist until 2007.
A consultant for various wineries in Alentejo (Portugal), at the end of 2009 Susana decided to embark on her personal project, with the determination to produce wines full of character and with a unique style slightly removed from the traditional techniques of Alentejo. In 2011, she discovered two small vineyards that laid the foundation for her two wines: In Portalegre, she found an old mixed plantation of several different varieties, with very low yields, providing an astonishing complexity and freshness. By blending these two vineyards, she managed to create "Procura."
Susana Esteban has joined forces with her good friend and fellow enologist Sandra Tavares to craft wines together. The first wine that emerged from the Esteban&Tavares partnership was the red Crochet, and more recently, in 2014, they launched Tricot, made in Susana Esteban's winery in Alentejo.
