Description
Decibel's Giunta Pinot Gris 2023 is a vivid expression of New Zealand's Hawke's Bay, reflecting Daniel Brennan's passion for bright, approachable wines that showcase regional clarity. Grapes are sourced from selected parcels across free-draining river terraces, where a warm maritime climate and gravelly soils enhance aromatic lift and structure. Harvested at optimal ripeness and gently pressed, the juice is cool-fermented in stainless steel with minimal intervention, preserving the delicate fruit and natural freshness. A touch of retained residual sugar balances the crisp acidity, yielding an off-dry style that is both food-friendly and refreshing. The nose reveals notes of ripe pear, white peach, lemon zest and subtle honeysuckle, while the palate is lively and medium-bodied, with juicy stone fruit, a whisper of spice, and a clean, gently textured finish. Bottled under screwcap, this Pinot Gris is versatile - pairing well with Asian-inspired cuisine, fresh salads, or soft cheeses - and stands as an inviting, contemporary take on a classic variety.
