Decibel’s 2019 Giunta Chenin Blanc comes from the Two Terraces Vineyard in the Maraekakaho Appellation of Hawkes Bay, New Zealand. The lower nighttime temperatures of this inland site produces wines in a cooler climate style with fragrant aromatics and elegant structure. The 2019 Giunta Chenin Blanc offers aromas of red apple seeds and light floral notes with hints of cinnamon glazed pears. On the palate, this wine has a soft approach with a rich, even spicy mid-palate. While the fruit it opulent and soft in portions, it also has firm acidity with a lengthy crisp finish. Cheers!
Fresh Oysters on the Half Shell with Mignonette
Taste the lively acidity of a Chenin Blanc from your wine deliveries as it interacts wonderfully with the mineral aspects of the oysters and the tart/sweet aspects of the mignonette.
