Decibel Wines

Decibel was founded in 2009 by Daniel Brennan, a former rock band manager who has since become a bit of a rockstar himself in the local wine industry. He moved Hawke’s Bay in 2008, with infinite passion to learn about wine growing and this unique region. Dan honed his craft, made deep connections with local growers, and turned his initials (the musical symbol for decibel) into a beloved wine label.

Today, there are around 17 varieties available across the three wine ranges: Decibel, Giunta and Testify, featuring the iconic Martinborough Pinot Noir and Malbec, as well as a refined Chenin Blanc and zesty Sauvignon Blanc. The team is dedicated to producing wines from sustainable sites, working with many fully organic growers while inspiring others to make the switch.
