What reviewers say
“🌍 A really good, satisfying single-vineyard Loureiro from Vinho Verde. Slightly, barely noticeably effervescent, with clear notes of juicy apricot, citrus fruit and balanced acidity. At this price, it really can claim to be the star of the genre.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Cristal clear with light lemony colour. Intense and fruity, tropical fruit aromas of banana and mango. Distinct oral aromas blended in harmony with the abundant fruit. Very nice structure with a crispy acidity. The light fizz enhaces the wine freshness. Good finish.

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 Arca Nova Vinho Verde Loureiro 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 · Portugal (1,436 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 257.
