What reviewers say
“Se trata de un coupage de la serie ovejas con graciano y malbec nada habitual entre los vinos de Castilla la Mancha. La bodega produce, dentro de la misma serie, el monovarietal graciano, algo sin duda meritorio y escaso ya que no suele tener poca graduación alcohólica y elevada acidez. Sin embargo, esta uva es más normal verla emplear en grandes Reservas de Rioja o Navarra, para darle una chispa aromática a estos vinos que pueden verse apagados organolépticamente por sus largas crianzas.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.

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 Bodegas Fontana Oveja Tinta Graciano - Malbec 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 Red · España (178 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 141.
