In 1981, Pask planted the first vines in an ancient Ngaruroro riverbed, founding Hawke’s Bay’s renowned Gimblett Gravels wine district. Founder Chris Pask – flying in the cockpit of his topdressing plane – first saw the potential for growing exceptional grapes in the light, stony soils of the ancient Ngaruroro riverbed. Sheltered from Pacific breezes and several degrees warmer than any other New Zealand wine-growing area, it was in this sun-drenched valley that Chris planted Pask’s first vines. Today, the Pask winemaking team remain as passionate as ever about creating wines to be shared and enjoyed.
Tasting Notes
Pronounced aromas of apple pie, orange blossom and lightly toasted nuts. The palate is creamy and mouth filling with subtle hazelnut, and biscuit with nice citrus elements coming through. Fresh acidity brings the right amount of tension and balance. Enjoy with seafood, oil and cream based pastas and chicken dishes.
Method
The grapes are harvested from the the Gimblett Gravels area of Hawke’s Bay. Predominantly fermented in stainless tanks then transferred to French oak barriques for maturation for 14 months. Blended then bottled early in the new year.
