What reviewers say
“92: Klar medium citrongul farve i glasset. I næsen er den markant, med noter af moden citron, mandarin, gule modne æbler, smør, brioche, mandler, ristede hasselnødder, lidt toast, fad og ristet eg. I munden har den en medium syre og en cremet let opulent tekstur.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
This wine offers butterscotch, apricots and hints of citrus on the nose. The rich, mouthwatering palate of citrus and honeycomb culminates in a lingering, crisp finish.

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 Spier Farm House Organic Chenin 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 · Südafrika (112 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 52.
