Tasting profile
A bold, dry Wachau Riesling with tropical fruit, melon, lemon, and white floral notes leading into pineapple, yellow stone fruit, and honeyed blossom on the palate. Crisp high acidity and a clean, salty-mineral edge carry a long finish, drinking with the complexity and weight of a top-tier white.

Summary
Franz Hirtzberger Ried Setzberg - Riesling Smaragd is a white from Wachau, Austria.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against 37 other whites from Austria, not against the corpus as a whole. 209 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 211 reviewers with at least two ratings each 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.

- 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 209.
