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 shows lemongrass, kaffir lime and red grapefruit… Hints of crisp nectarine, rich nougat and citrus rind evolve on the back of the nose. The palate begins fresh with bright peachy fruit, pineapple and is plusher than expected once it hits the midpalate. The finish has a driving acidity that is cuddled by hints of fruit sweetness, leaving the mouth watering for another sip.
