What reviewers say
“Dentro de los blancos prefiero los de guarda a los jóvenes, y este es de mis favoritos. Lo probamos en la misma bodega y tuvimos que llevarnos un par de botellas.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Clean, brilliant, yellow, almost waxy in the glass. On the nose, an intense bouquet of honey, peaches in syrup, ginger, white flowers and mint fused together with notes of smoke. Smooth in the mouth, opening up with exotic citrus and white fruit (grapefruit and apple), merged with a hint of freshly cut hay and aniseed, all blending well with the wood. Perfectly balanced acidity that brings freshness and a lasting finish without stepping on its rounded oiliness. A wine for laying down, a wine full of surprises.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Abadía Retuerta LeDomaine Blanco de Guarda lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against White · Spagna (98 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 1,171.
