| Sarah McCleery, The Oxford Times, 24th June 2011 "the great fun Raza Vinho Verde 2010 that comes in a vibrant, lime green bottle and smells and tastes and fresh and zippy as it looks. There's a touch of spritz on the palate and then a quite unexpected, ‘chewy' pear-fruit palate. It was first in the flight and all I can say is that it made me smile — a lot.” |
| Stuart Pigott , "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung", 8th May 2011 "Embodies the currently dominant vinho verde style. It smells of fresh herbs and ripe apples, it is very racy but not all dust-dry. That makes it very animating and refreshing." |
