What reviewers say
“From Marlborough , New Zeland. Bought in the night shop. 👁Very pale, platinum colour. "Blanc" meas white and thay what i see 👃I feel something like acid fruits with fresh cut grass. Passionfruit and some gooseberry in the company with that grass 👅High accidity and dry but refresh taste. Lot of citruses and green apple with gooseberry. I would name it like "green taste". Very long mineral finish. My first Sacignion Blanc from New Zeland. I got a desire to taste more in this kind. Good Wine.”

Summary
From Marlborough in New Zealand, Marlborough Bay Sauvignon Blanc is a white.
The calibrated figure is built from 276 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 296 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,063 other whites from New Zealand, 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 Marlborough Bay Sauvignon Blanc 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 276.
