Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Crunchy by name, crunchy by nature! Our lightest red wine, designed specifically to be enjoyable when poured chilled. The perfect accompaniment to charcuterie, smoked mushrooms, or simply a sunny afternoon. Aromatics are important here so it’s no wonder the brightness of pomegranate and raspberry are out to play, supported by a lightly herbal it's a moreish delight. Like biting into a Black Doris plum, the tannins are very soft and supple giving in to the ripe and fruity juice that has just a hint of spice. Think of this as a grown up berry iced tea!
Specifically designed and named for all the conversations I’ve had over the years selling my wines around the world. It’s also because I love drinking these kinds of wines. Fresh, juicy, chillable reds for a range of occasions. Biogro certified organic; grab some asap because it’s my favourite drinking right now!"

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.
At Decibel Central in Hastings, you can explore over 17 wines through tastings or simply drop in to pick up a bottle. With a range that includes the young and fresh Giunta Series, the expressive and approachable Decibel Wines, and the powerful, age-worthy Testify collection, there's something for everyone. Let Daniel and his team help you discover your new favourite Hawke's Bay wine.

Thank you Vino Fino Team, Thank you so much for your help with the drinks for our wedding day! We couldn’t have been happier with the service from Vino Fino supplying us with a Chiller Trailer to use on the day! You made getting the wine for our wedding easy and fun. It was low stress, and we truly appreciated being able to bring back the unopened wine. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family. We’re so grateful!
