What reviewers say
“De cata en Finca las Gruesas con la enóloga A.C. de la misma bodega. No sé qué habrán cambiado pero empiezan a hacer las cosas bien. Se trata de un caldo vegano certificado, de color blanco muy claro con notas doradas y platinas.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Of a very shiny pale yellow, it shows elegant aromas of white fruit and delicate toast hints. On the palate, it is complex, soft and very silky. Well balanced and creamy long ending.
From Yecla in Spain, Castaño Macabeo - Chardonnay is a white.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 778 other whites from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole. The calibrated figure is built from 305 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 313 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 Castaño Macabeo - Chardonnay 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 · España (779 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 305.
