2021 Hawke’s Bay Decibel Sauvignon Blanc

Blend: 100% Sauvignon Blanc 

Winemaking & Ageing Process: The fruit was picked over 3 days in late March then de-stemmed and crushed. The juice was settled and fermented in stainless steel tanks using two different yeasts in co-fermentation. Frequent stirring was done throughout fermentation and post fermentation allowing the solids to flesh out the palate. The wine was then cold settled and stabilized before bottling under screw-cap to maintain the bright fruit and aromatics gained from the young New Zealand soils.

Winemaker Bio: The man behind the brand. After a lifetime in the restaurant world and a career in the music business, Daniel Brennan brings a surfeit of experience and passion to Decibel. He takes a collaborative approach, working closely with his trusted growers to expand the range and push the organic programme.

Tasting Notes & Analysis: The nose immediately explodes with kiwi fruit and lemon grass. Hints of pineapple, rich nougat and citrus rind evolve on the back of the nose. The palate begins fresh with bright fruit and a hit of effervescence but finishes with a soft texture evolving into a lingering, chalky, perky persistence that drives back through the mid palate leaving the mouth watering and wanting more.
