What reviewers say
“That's a good choice after our Mexican Nebbiolo wine with some saline and minerals. That was a nice preparation for this Basque mineral and quite acidic bomb. Its colour is still bright - pale yellow with greenish hues.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Clean and bright. Straw yellow color with shades of green. Intense varietal aromas, with overtones of white fruit, citrus fruit and stone fruit Fresh in mouth, lively, balanced, long, persistent aromatic finish.
Astobiza Blanco is Hondarrabi Zuri grown in Arabako Txakolina, bottled as a white.
The cohort it is ranked inside holds 1,204 Spanish whites. The calibrated figure is built from 1,030 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,044 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Astobiza Blanco 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 · Spain (1,204 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 1,030.
