What reviewers say
“Der weisse Rioja, gekeltert aus 90% Viuara und 10% Malvasia Riojana präsentiert sich in brillantem Zitronengelb. Ausgebaut wurde der Wein während 5 Monaten in Barriques. In der Nase zeigen sich Aromen von Granny Smith Apfel, Limonen, Quittengelée und Honigmelone aber auch florale und feinherbe Noten. Am Gaumen cremiger fluss, füllig und filigran zugleich mit viel gelber Frucht. Gut ausbalanciert zwischen Zitrusfrische und feingliedriger Mineralität. Ein Rioja in weiss, der Freude macht 👍😀”

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 Luis Cañas Rioja Alavesa Blanco 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 186.
