Producing good wines has always been Susana Esteban’s goal, if in the process she manages to bring together some of those close to her, better.
The starting point of SIDECAR is to share moments, ideas and experiences with winemakers or people linked to wine with whom Susana Esteban identifies and likes. Dirk Niepoort is the first guest and the first person that make a wine in Susana´s winery with grapes that come from her vineyards. It’s 2014. The following year, 2015, it’s the turn of the winemaker Filipa Pato and Sommelier William Wouters to join Susana Esteban for another trip. In 2016, Susana returns to her origins and invites one of the most prestigious winemakers in Spain and her longtime friend: Eulogio Pomares.
A year later SIDECAR is developed with his friend and Brazilian journalist Jorge Lucki. In 2018/2019, Ricardo Diogo, producer and winemaker of Madeira Barbeito wines took over the production of Sidecar. In 2020 Susana Esteban joined Emmanuel Lassaigne for another SIDECAR project and produced what was her first sparkling wine. This was also the first time that the French producer has made a wine outside the Champagne region.
In 2022 the spanish sommelier José Luis Arangude was the guest for the SIDECAR project and in 2024 Dirk Niepoort returns to celebrate 10 years of SIDECAR.
