Decibel by Daniel Brennan, Sauvignon Blanc, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, 2023

Overview of the Wine
The passion project of a former rock band manager, Decibel is a counter-culture winery. Not satisfied with the status quo, Decibel has cemented an international fan base that started in Hawkes Bay, NZ, migrated to Philly, PA and now stretches across state lines, led by malbec.

Driven to produce fine but fun wines from sustainable sites, Decibel bottles complement a laden table surrounded by loved ones. A philosophy lived in earnest from our central home in Hastings, where the Decibel urban tasting room sits as the vinous heart of the city.

A celebration of community and family — those we’re born into and those where we earn that deep, familial embrace, Decibel welcomes artists, musicians, and wine curious folk no matter where you come from and no matter where you are drinking a Decibel.

Sustainable.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
The nose shows lemongrass, kaffir lime and red grapefruit. Hints of crisp nectarine, rich nougat and citrus rind evolve on the back of the nose. The palate begins fresh with bright peachy fruit, pineapple and is plusher than expected once it hits the mid-palate. The finish has a driving acidity that is cuddled by hints of fruit sweetness, leaving the mouth watering for another sip.

93 Points - Decibel
Wonderfully fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows rockmelon, apricot, pineapple and feijoa aromas, leading to a succulent palate offering bright fruit flavours with juicy acidity, making it instantly appealing. At its best: now to 2027.
