2023 Decibel Chenin Blanc, Hawkes Bay
On the Nose : A complex but fruity nose leads with white peach, green apple, and a hint of cinnamon spice.
On the Palate : The palate is firm with plenty of fresh pear and crisp lemon tart with a long mineral core.
While the fruit is opulent, it also has firm acidity with a lengthy finish resulting in a wine that will drink well young but age for many years to come.
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.
