What reviewers say
“The 2023 vintage is initially heavy with red cherry flavors when first opened. Thus wine that definitely needs 15-20 minutes to breathe. Then, the bluefruit and minerality comes shining through. Very smooth tannins, a bit high on acidity. Overall, just a beautiful wine from Österreich.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
From Burgenland in Austria, Claus Preisinger Sand & Stones is a red.
The cohort it is ranked inside holds 78 Austrian reds. Only 33 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 33 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track.
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 Claus Preisinger Sand & Stones 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 · Austria (78 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 33.
