What reviewers say
“Light hay hue. A PUNCH of tropical fruit on the nose - lychee, pineapple, passion fruit, lime. The second the wine hits my tongue, it's fruit! Minerality! Grass! The only thing I didn't care for as much was the lime zest aftertaste that was slightly too fruity bitter but mellowed with food. High delicious acidity! This wine is aggressively flavorful and refreshing and I am 👏 here 👏 for 👏 it. New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc turned up to 11. I would happily drink more of this. Night in with Mark”

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.

- 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 201.
