2022 Decibel Giunta Malbec, Hawkes Bay
$21.99
Daniel pioneered the Nouveau style in Hawke’s Bay with this juicy, fresh example that leaves your mouth watering for more.
In appearance: For this lighter style, the Malbec color is quite a dark purple.
On the nose: The nose is grainy, brambly with hints of violets and tamarillo growing into notes of blackberry and blueberry pie. Some hints of all spice and confection notes also persist.
On the palate: Dark preserved-cherry, menthol and liquorice flavours. Bit of a buzz of energy in the mouth. Very refreshing finish. Light but persistent tannins.
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.
