What reviewers say
“De tweede stap van het Valdevieso-½ prijs avontuur! Licht goud met wat groen, de geur is zeer terughoudend een verfijnd, groen appeltje, beetje vlierbloesem en citroengras, dan komt een bijna onverwachte smaakexplosie, maar alles behalve lomp en vet!”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Color yellow with green tints and light golden reflections. Intense aroma of citrus fruits, lemon and grapefruit rinds are mixed with aromas of tropical fruit and slight toasted notes. Live and refreshing, where the citrus flavors fill the palate. Unctuous, sweet and long 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 Valdivieso Single Valley Lot Gran Reserva Chardonnay 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 · Chile (563 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 106.
