A brilliant effort here from winemaker Dan Brennan. Testify is the flagship in the Decibel hierarchy and this is an elegant and refined expression of fine coastal Hawke's Bay Chardonnay that kicks off with gentle flinty / gun smoke characters on the nose. The palate show excellent drive with classic regional stonefruit and citrus flavours underpinned with restrained oak characters - despite the fact that this wine was fermented in new French oak barrels. It's a thoroughly modern interpretation that is already very attractive, and one that will continue to blossom over the coming 5-8 years.

Tasting note

Cameron Douglas MS: "Aromas of roasted stone fruits and lemon peel, a touch of gunflint then barrel spices, a nut burnt butter quality highlights both wood influence, lees and ripeness of fruit. Lovely weight and satin-cream cream texture combine to deliver a plush raw-silk mouthfeel. Flavours of nut, spice, citrus and stone fruits reflect the bouquet. Dry, persistent, taut and youthful, a wine that will continue to age and develop if stored well."
