Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"A fruit bomb, this Albariño is vibrant with the high-summer flavours of apricot, yellow nectarine, fragrant florals and a pop of citrus. While totally dry, this has a textural component adding a roundness to the palate and accentuating the sweet fruit characters. Quite simply a delicious drop."
5 Stars & 93/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, June 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"It's delicately scented on the nose with nuances of green apple, ripe pear, lemon zest, and white flowers. The palate is focused and finely flowing with youthful fruit intensity, well supported by an elegant texture and bright acidity, making it splendidly appealing. At its best: now to 2029."
90/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, September 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"This great-value albariño comes from the Two Terraces Vineyard and delivers plenty of crisp, forward refreshment with a little something more, something saline, which is a good example of why this variety is so exciting for Aotearoa. Fruit-driven and accessible, this has delicious, up-front flavours of nectarine, mandarin and honeysuckle which slowly give way to a streak of saline acidity and a smooth, silky palate. Creamed clover honey lingers on the finish, making it irresistible for immediate enjoyment."

Decibel Wines are prized for their purity, freshness, and vibrancy. Each wine in the Decibel family is crafted to reflect the unique terroir of Hawke's Bay, offering abundant fruit with a slightly esoteric take on style. The Testify wines are designed for longevity, Decibel wines are classic examples of their region, and Giunta wines boast bright, fruit-forward profiles with a nod to the winemaker's Sicilian heritage.
Winemaker Daniel Brennan moved from Philadelphia to New Zealand, leaving behind his life as a touring rock band manager to pursue his passion for winemaking. He collaborates with small-scale growers to produce award-winning wines using classic practices and minimal intervention. All Decibel wines are suitable for vegetarians and vegans, sourced from certified sustainable vineyards. Daniel's goal is to transition to fully certified organic production, working closely with growers to push the boundaries of sustainable viticulture.
