Susana Esteban was born in Tui, Spain. She has a degree in Chemical Sciences from the University of Santiago de Compostela and a Master’s in Viticulture and Oenology from the University of La Rioja. She began her career as an oenologist in 1999, having worked in the most renowned wineries and been responsible for wines of exceptional and recognised quality.

During this time, her work has been recognised both nationally and internationally. In 2012 she was awarded the most prestigious prize a winemaker can receive in Portugal, the title of “Winemaker of the Year”, by Revista de Vinhos, and to date she is the only woman to have been awarded this honour.

Since August 2023, she has been part of Ímpar’s team as a consultant winemaker, having already been responsible for that year’s harvest.
