Decibel Sauvignon Blanc · Hawke’s Bay, New Zealand · 2023
The Moment
This is the glass that resets the room. Someone turns the music down a notch, food starts landing on the table, and everything suddenly tastes sharper, brighter, more alive.
What It Feels Like
Juicy citrus bursts first — lime zest and grapefruit — followed by crisp apple and pear, with subtle tropical notes of fig and passionfruit weaving through. Fresh herbs and a touch of green pepper keep it grounded, while a chalky mineral edge and zingy acidity make every sip mouthwatering and precise. Bright without being aggressive, plush without being heavy.
