Decibel Giunta Albarino 2025

Decibel Giunta Albarino brings a sunny Hawke's Bay take on this lively variety, with apricot, yellow nectarine, floral lift and a bright citrus snap. It is dry yet generously fruited, with enough texture to round out the palate before a fresh finish. Giunta is Decibel's playful, experimental range, named for winemaker Daniel Brennan's Sicilian grandmother Stella, and this bottle fits the brief nicely: vibrant, approachable and ready for the table. A smart pick for grilled prawns, fish tacos, fresh seafood or a warm afternoon when Sauvignon Blanc feels a little too obvious.

What the winery says:
