What reviewers say
“The WOW experience in a bottle. A real surprise. In the nose, a spectrum of fresh aromas unfolds, freshly cut grass, green nettle, flowering elderberries, and a medley of fresh citrus, pineapple, and melon, all combined with mineral scents that give the wine a special character.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Pale yellow colour with greenish glints. Complex nose with hints of fresh grass over a mineral base which gives the wine personality, and abundant fresh citrus fruits, pineapple or melon. Fresh and aromatic taste in the mouth and a long finish.
Marqués de Riscal Sauvignon Blanc is a Spanish white from Rueda.
778 other whites from Spain form the cohort it is ranked inside. The calibrated figure is built from 3,057 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 3,128 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Marqués de Riscal 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 · España (779 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 3,057.
