Robert Parker vom renommierten Weinmagazin »
The Wine Advocate« bewertet in seiner Ausgabe 130/2000 den ›
Marquês de Borba Branco 1998‹ von
João Portugal Ramos aus dem
D.O.C. Alentejo mit 85/100 Punkten (= sehr gut). Über die weiße
Cuvée aus
Arinto,
Rabo de Ovelha und
Roupeiro schreibt der Redakteur unter anderem im Original:
„For fine value, the 1998 Marquês de Borba white wine is a blend of three indigenous varietals that few readers are likely to ever have encountered. This wine, fermented and aged in temperature-controlled, stainless stell tanks, is crisp, with a Thai lemon grass note to the bouquet, as well as refreshing, light-bodied, subtle fruit flavors. It is an ideal aperitif wine that is not dissimilar from some of the Côtes de Gascognes from southwest France. Drink it over the next 6-12 months.”
