What reviewers say
“De kan altså finde ud af at lave hvidvin i New Zealand, der falder i min smag. Denne var ingen undtagelse. “Normalt” plejer jeg ikke drikke hvidvin fra NZ i den her kaliber, da jeg ofte synes, man får et fornuftigt glas til billige penge.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This is an exotic, intricate Chardonnay that is rich and generous with ripe citrus and savoury wild yeast-derived complexity. A concentrated wine with a tight, natural acid backbone and a long crisp finish.

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 Greywacke Chardonnay 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 · New Zealand (1,064 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 799.
