Decibel Giunta Pinot Noir 2022

Decibel Giunta Pinot Noir is a bright, light-footed Hawke's Bay Pinot made for drinking rather than overthinking. Juicy pomegranate and fresh raspberry lead, with dried rose petal and cardamom bringing an aromatic, gently spicy edge. It sits firmly in Decibel's playful Giunta range, named for winemaker Daniel Brennan's Sicilian grandmother, Stella Giunta. Serve it lightly chilled for maximum refreshment, then pour alongside roasted aubergine, pomegranate-glazed lamb, mezze, or a generous table of vegetable dishes. A smart choice for Pinot drinkers who favour freshness, fragrance, and easy charm over heavy oak or muscle.

What the winery says:

The winery describes this as a light, fruit-forward expression of Hawke's Bay Pinot Noir. Pomegranate drives both the aroma and palate, layered with freshly picked raspberry, dried rose petals, and cardamom spice. Its vivid fruit and refreshing profile make it particularly well suited to serving lightly chilled on a warm afternoon.
