Giunta Sauvignon Blanc
WHY WE LOVE IT
- Giunta Sauvignon Blanc comes from Park Orchard, a vineyard nestled near Marlborough’s coast called Dillon’s Point.
- Dillon’s Point features mineral-rich alluvial silts, ideal for Sauvignon Blanc vines.
- Vegan friendly and certified sustainable.
Varietal Composition: 100% Sauvignon Blanc
Elaboration: Fermented in stainless tanks. Inoculated with yeast.
Tasting Notes: Tropical notes of pineapple, melon, gooseberry, and pink grapefruit with subtle hints of guava and lychee. On the nose, the subtle aroma of salt air hints at the vineyard’s coastal proximity. The palate begins softly, opening up to bright citrus flavors akin to starburst candies, finishing with a refreshing dryness reminiscent of crisp peach. A balanced and nuanced experience, capturing the essence of tropical fruits and the seaside with finesse.

PRODUCER BACKGROUND
Daniel (dB) Brennan, a native of New Jersey, founded Decibel Wines in 2008 in Hastings, New Zealand, a city on the east coast of the North Island, in the Hawke’s Bay region. After touring Europe and America as manager of a rock band, he found himself at his family’s restaurant in Philadelphia where he was inspired by his Sicilian grandfather, a cooper and winemaker, to trade music for wine.
He arrived in his adopted country virtually penniless but with determination to bring his vision to life. He studied Oenology & Viticulture in Hawke’s Bay and worked with some of the region’s top producers, as well as at wineries and vineyards in California, Oregon, and Italy.
