What reviewers say
“Delicious white wine from Croatia gifted by a friend. Wine in pale gold in the glass and clear. The nose is very mineral, wet crushed stone and earth and even some mushroom. Palate is medium bodied. Slightly oily mouthfeel lending to great persistence. High acidity.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Pale golden color. The nose is young and tender, with a nice complexity that shows through several layers. White flowers, peaches and juicy yellow fruits dominate. In this, a very good harvest, in addition to feel Kličić.
From Istria (Croatia) in Croatia, Kozlović Malvazija is a white. It is made from Malvazija Istarska.
1,874 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 1,947 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 113 other whites from Croatia, 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 Kozlović Malvazija 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 · Croatia (114 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 1,874.
