Tasting profile
A bold, oaky white with tropical fruit, floral lift, and a slice of acidity balancing a richer, fatter mid-palate, while some reviewers also note riper character with leather and cocoa hints. Intense and persistent, it drinks beautifully on its own and stands up to hearty dishes like lamb.

Summary
Malhadinha Nova Branco is a Portuguese white from Alentejo.
452 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 468 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. 1,435 other whites from Portugal form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 Malhadinha Nova Branco 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 · Portugal (1,436 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 452.
