What reviewers say
“Sieben Jahre in portugiesischer Eiche gereift; dry heißt hier 45 g/l Restzucker. Sehr komplexes Aroma, frische und geröstete Nüsse, Kaffee, Orangenschale, sehr würzig und malzig. Im Mund überraschend frisch mit Zitrusfrüchten und kräftiger Säure, deutliche aber gut integrierte Süße, nussig. Das Highlight ist der ewig lange Abgang mit Kaffee und Malz.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
From Madeira in Portugal, Madeira Wine Company Maderista Reserva Dry Madeira is a fortified wine. It sits in the $30–60 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $37.94.
The cohort it is ranked inside holds 1,422 Portuguese fortified wines. Only 34 of its Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 34 reviewers with at least two ratings 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.
- Global percentile
- Where Madeira Wine Company Maderista Reserva Dry Madeira 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 Fortified · Portugal (1,422 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 34.
