Intensely aromatic, with mouth-watering flavours of citrus, gooseberry and passion fruit and perfumed with sweet herbaceous notes. Wonderfully crisp and refreshing, with a delicate minerality and a long, lingering finish.

The calibrated figure is built from 498 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 519 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,063 other whites from New Zealand, not against the corpus as a whole.
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 Art Of Wine The Great Wave Sauvignon Blanc 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 · New Zealand (1,064 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 498.
