2019 Hawke’s Bay Testify Chardonnay Blend: 100% Chardonnay Winemaking & Ageing Process: Hand picked and whole bunch pressed straight to barrel. Fully barrel fermented in a combination of French barriques and puncheons (30% new). Left on their lees for aging and initially stirred weekly for the first 2 months, then topped and stirred monthly until they were racked off lees in January before bottling in February 2020. The wine was then aged in bottle for an additional year. 10 months in barrel, 1 year in bottle before release. 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: Hints of flinty nougat, rich toffee, caramelized green apple with hints of toasty brioche and a key lime minerality. The palate has a bright entry with mouthwatering acidity, peculating through the mid-palate showing touches of citrus, oyster shell and rounded, fleshy pears. The length is fresh and persists into a finish of pithy citrus rind and crisp pineapple.
