Susana Esteban Sidecar Sparkling Wine 2020 75Cl - DOC Alentejo
Sidecar White Sparkling 2020 is a one-of-a-kind sparkling wine made by Emmanuel Lassaigne, legendary Champagne grower, in collaboration with Susana Esteban as part of her Sidecar project.
It was crafted from century-old vineyards in Serra de São Mamede, fermented with no added sulfur in two 500-liter barrels brought from Lassaigne’s own cellar in Champagne. Tirage was done in June 2021 using the traditional method, and the wine was degorged à la volée by Emmanuel himself in January 2024.
A pure, complex, and elegant sparkling wine, truly unique and unrepeatable.
Limited to just 1247 bottles (0.75 L) and 20 magnums.

Awards:
This is a very special wine produced with incredible grapes from the century-old vineyards of Serra de São Mamede. Emmanuel Lassaigne accepted the challenge of making this wine and it was the first time he had made a wine outside his own production. For fermentation and aging, we used 2 barrels from Champagne, and the wine was made without any addition of sulfites as Emmanuel does in his winery to produce its famous Champagnes. The tirage was done using the traditional method and the disgorgement was done with the method “a la Volée” by Emmanuel Lassaigne himself 2 and a half years later. A unique and unrepeatable wine.
