Tasting profile
A powerful yet harmonious Sauvignon Blanc showing ripe yellow pear, gooseberry, passion fruit and tropical stone-fruit notes alongside cool alpine florals, blackcurrant leaf and a saline mineral edge. Full-bodied and spicy with a fine caramel-vanilla finish, it drinks elegantly young but is built to age a decade.

What reviewers say
“Einer von den Sauvignon Blanc, die man getrunken haben muss. Typisierung, Aromatik, gepaart mit Harmonie über die Länge, wenn man nicht zu schnell trinkt.”

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 Erwin Sabathi Ried Pössnitzberger Kapelle Sauvignon Blanc 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 · Austria (1,190 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 70.
