Decibel's Giunta Malbec 2022 is a fresh, early-drinking style sourced from sustainably farmed Hawke's Bay vineyards. Grapes are harvested at peak ripeness, destemmed, and fermented in stainless steel to capture vibrant fruit purity. A short maturation in seasoned French oak imparts a gentle structure without masking the varietal's hallmark juiciness. Bottled under screwcap at 14% ABV, the wine is purple-hued and exuberant, with lively aromas of blackberry, blueberry, dark plum and a hint of violets. The palate is medium-bodied, soft and round, delivering ripe fruit, subtle spice, and velvety tannins. Made to be enjoyed young, this Malbec pairs effortlessly with barbecued meats, grilled vegetables or casual fare, and offers a glimpse of the fruit-forward, approachable side of Hawke's Bay reds.
