What reviewers say
“Vale Meão foi arrematada por Dona Ferreirinha em 1877, na época o Douro Superior era um lugar remoto, fora da região demarcada por Pombal. Teve muita visão, a ferrovia chegou décadas depois e agora se fazem lá alguns dos melhores vinhos do Douro.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
From Douro in Portugal, Quinta do Vale Meão Meandro Douro Branco is a white.
The calibrated figure is built from 475 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 479 reviewers with two or more ratings feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,435 other whites from Portugal, 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 Quinta do Vale Meão Meandro Douro 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 475.
