Tasting note
António Agrellos designed the equipment for this gravity-flow winery, including the conical stainless steel fermentation vats that spread out the cap as the wine drains down during pumpovers. Sino is the basic red he makes from this not-so-basic estate, tracing two kilometers of river frontage on the north bank of the Douro. It's the kind of light, elegant wine that makes the powerfully extracted Douro reds seem heavy and ponderous by comparison. A blend of tinta roriz, tourigas nacional and franca, and tinto cão, it's stemmy and gamey, tasting like a traditional lagar fermentation, only more vibrant. Best Buy. Score - 92.
