Here are just a few of the comments carried by the foreign press about Domaine Porto Carras which have been published from time to time:

"Chateau Carras is Greece's best red wine" 
Charles Metcalfe, BBC television.

"The vineyards of Domaine Carras, growing among the pine trees and olive groves, must be some of the loveliest in Europe… The wines, most particularly Chateau Carras, are a testament to his (Carras') conviction that Greece can, and does, produce fine wines."
Maggie Mc Nie NW Harrods Book of Fine Wine. 

"…I was amazed at the quality of the Domaine Carras wines, especially the reds".
Professor Emile Peynaud, University of Bordeaux. 

"In Macedonia, go for Domaine Carras… This very beautiful vineyard produces the Chateau Carras, a dense wine with a long finish and very beautiful tannins, impeccably vinified."
Chantal Lecouty, Le Figaro.
