Decibel 'Giunta' by Daniel Brennan, Sauvignon Blanc, Wairarapa, 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
A new wine in the stable for 2023, this is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and its pink-skinned cousin Sauvignon Gris. The nose shows dried rose petals, patchouli, white pepper, and jasmine. It then opens up to aromas of sweet pea, tinned pear and dried limes. The plates is rich with more pears, juicy acidity and a racy dry finish. Briny fruit, Turkish Delight and river stone linger on the palate calling for oysters and pan-fried white fish in olive oil.

93 Points - WineOrbit
It's fabulously aromatic on the nose showing green apple, fresh fig, lime zest and white floral aromas, followed by an intensely flavoursome palate that's juicy and lively. Splendidly expressed with loads of tasty flavours, finishing long and mouth-watering. At its best: now to 2026. Tasted Aug 2023.
