Decibel Crownthorpe Hawke's Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2024
"It's splendidly expressed on the nose, with green apple, white-fleshed nectarine, lemon peel, and white-flower aromas. The palate delivers excellent fruit intensity, fine texture, and beautifully pitched acidity, making it mouthwatering and delectable. At its best: now to 2028" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Kan 2026
The nose opens with rock melon and white florals, layered with touches of guava, elderflower, and honeysuckle. On the palate, the wine is immediately rich and generous, a hallmark of Hawke’s Bay’s concentrated 2024 season. The mid-palate brightens with notes of key lime pie and a playful tension between silky brioche and racing acidity. A line of lemon and lime zest carries through to the finish, giving the wine a lingering freshness that invites another sip. Versatile at the table, it shines with everything from freshly shucked Bluff oysters at the bach to roast chicken at Grandma’s on a cold Sunday afternoon.
Hawke’s Bay lies on the East Coast of the North Island of New Zealand. The region enjoys dry summers with moderate, cool nights. This wine reflects a single vineyard Sauvignon Blanc which was grown inland on the elevated terraces of the Crownthorpe sub-region of Hawke’s Bay.
The juice was settled and fermented in stainless steel tanks using two different yeasts in co-fermentation. Frequent stirring was done throughout fermentation and post fermentation allowing the solids to flesh out the palate. The wine was then cold settled and stabilised before bottling under screw-cap to maintain the bright fruit and aromatics gained from the young New Zealand soils and phenomenal UV light.
