Pask Gimblett Gravels Hawke's Bay Merlot 2021
"A youthful wine with a core of dark plum skin and blackberry fruits are framed by a light clove and vanilla spice, an earthy clay quality and satin smooth textures. Balanced and well made, dry and ready to drink. Fine tannins and acidity are integrating into the wine and dissolve on the palate easily. Well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2028" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, Oct 2025
An immediately alluring bouquet of ripe red fruit and spicy oak. The palate is loaded with rich plum flavours combined with dark berries and classic merlot savoury characters.
A frost free Spring lead into an early dry summer. January and February were exceptionally warm, the beginning of Autumn bringing higher than average rainfall throughout March and April. Given the amount of rain, the quality of our fruit was great. A vintage which required good management, was well rewarded.
Harvested from our Gimblett road vineyard. Predominately fermented in closed stainless steel fermenters, then aged in barrel for approximatly 14 months. Regular racking occurred with blending in November 2019.
