Decibel is about instinct, energy, and doing things your own way. Founded by American-born Daniel Brennan in Hawke’s Bay, this is a label built on exploration—of New Zealand’s vineyards, winemaking potential, and personality. Daniel came to wine through music, and that creativity still runs through every bottle.

The range includes vibrant expressions of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Syrah, along with some lesser-seen styles like Gamay and skin-contact whites. These are wines with freshness, edge, and a clear sense of place—balanced between New World brightness and Old World texture.

Decibel is small-scale and hands-on, sourcing fruit from trusted growers in Hawke’s Bay and Martinborough. Each wine is crafted to reflect the region, the season, and the people behind it—no heavy manipulation, no unnecessary polish.

If you’re after wines that feel alive, with a bit of grit and soul, Decibel is worth discovering.
