What reviewers say
“Una pequeña joya en su rango. Acompañar con paté o carnes grasas para obtener un buen contrapunto. Largo y sincero en nariz, plátano muy presente, en boca es rápido con retrogusto algo ácido.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Bright color and greenish yellow. The nose shows attractive notes of tropical fruit like banana and passion fruit, leaving an elegant herbaceous aroma.
Faustino Rivero Ulecia Verdejo is a Spanish white from Castilha.
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. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 67 other whites from Spain, not against the corpus as a whole.
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 Faustino Rivero Ulecia Verdejo 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 · Espanha (68 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.
