While flying above the Gimblett Gravels in his topdressing plane, founder Chris Pask, saw an opportunity to grow exceptional grapes. The valley's sun-kissed, light, stony soils, sheltered from the Pacific-breeze were perfect for wine-growing. The first vines were planted in the ancient Ngaruroro riverbed, founding Hawke's Bay's renowned Gimblett Gravels wine district.

Four decades later, the Pask winemaking team remain as passionate as ever about creating wines to be shared and enjoyed. Every bottle of Pask wine embodies the decades of experience, ethos of sustainability and care taken during every step of the winemaking process, elegantly expressing the unique terroir. Pask produces four ranges of wines, each carefully crafted to offer distinctive character and style. Except for the Instinct line, all Pask wines are estate grown and bottled.
