Pask Winery

Chris Pask, a true pioneer of the Gimblett Gravel region, was flying overhead in the cockpit of his topdressing plane in the 1960’s when he saw the region and its huge potential. He saw past what was initially a sort of a barren landscape and thought that beautiful wine could be created here. His instincts proved to be correct!

Today the region is celebrated as a leading viticultural area. His sense that exceptional grapes could be grown in the stony soils of the archaic Ngaruroro River bed was right on the money. He began on Korokipo Road, Hawkes Bay, and by 1981 he had founded Pask Winery and in 1985 things were starting to look promising with an exquisite Cabernet Sauvignon V...

Fresh herbaceous notes, tomato leaf, limes and appealing pungency. Crisp & refreshing acidity, balanced with a good mouth feel. Zesty,  Elegant, tantalizingly dry.
Try fishburgers with lime or boiled lobster with lemon caper butter.
Produced from grapes picked from the fertile allucial soils of both the Marlborough and Awatere Valleys, as well as a portion coming from Spring Creek areas. Harvesting is done by machine to speed picking and minimise oxidation of the skins. The grapes are pressed quickly to preserve the intensly herbaceous fruit, followed by a long, cool fermentation in stainless steel to retain intense aromatics and flavours that Marlborough is world-renowned for.
