Quinta da Raza ‘Raza’ Vinho Verde 2025 75cl

Tasting Note

“At 11.5% alcohol, [Raza] is a blend of Arinto (50%), Azal (35%) and Trajadura (15%). With a fizzy crispness and easy, fruity finish (9 g/l making it perceptibly just a bit off-dry, but nicely balanced by acidity), it is in a familiar style, but well done, clean and invigorating …You can’t go wrong.”

Producer

Quinta da Raza was established by Diogo’s forebears in 1791, and today he and wife Mafalda have 40 hectares of prime vineyard in the sub region of Celorico do Basto. This is southern Vinho Verde, not too far from the lower reaches of the Douro. It is sheltered uplands at around 250m, quite rugged and mountainous, with distinct soils of mostly granite but patches of schist.
