What reviewers say
“Michelin Star Chef Eneko Atxa and his uncle Gorka Izagirre envisioned a project in 2005 to present local varieties with modern technology. Entry-level wine: young Txakoli, blend 50/50 of Hondarrabi Zuri/Hondarrabi Zerratia. Guia93.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Nice Straw yellow color with green reflections and metallic irisations. In the nose it combines a base of fresh apple with the herbaceous of the ferns with nuances of white flower Tilo and a subtle citric touch. Its passage through the mouth is round, glyceric, displaying a fresh sensation of fruit that leads to a finish.
Gorka Izagirre Blanc is Hondarrabi Zuri grown in Bizkaiko Txakolina, bottled as a white.
The calibrated figure is built from 1,012 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 1,023 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,203 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 Gorka Izagirre 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 · Spain (1,204 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 1,012.
