What reviewers say
“Wow! This has totally disproved my theory that sparkling reds are uninteresting. Bags of interest here in this 2016 vintage Durif Shiraz. Proper wine. Complex, some tertiary, medicinal aspects amongst the fruit. Absolutely glorious and I'll be buying more. A real iconoclast”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
De Bortoli Rutherglen Estate Shiraz - Durif Cuvée is an Australian sparkling wine from Rutherglen. The blend is Durif and Shiraz Syrah.
Only 15 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 15 reviewers with at least two ratings feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside holds 378 Australian sparkling wines.
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 De Bortoli Rutherglen Estate Shiraz - Durif Cuvée 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 Sparkling · Australia (378 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 15.
