Pask Declaration Merlot 2019 750ml

Winemakers Notes | Harvested from our Gimblett road vineyard. Predominately fermented in closed stainless steel fermenters, then aged in barrel for approximately 14 months. Regular racking occurred with blending in November 2020.

Vintage Detail | A challenging spring preceded an extremely long, warm summer with January recording 3.5ºc above average temperatures. February through to March was dryer than normal leading to optimal picking conditions late April. A favorable vintage has been well rewarded

International Wine Challenge 2023

Elegant coast style, with fragrant aromas, showing some development. Tobacco, cedar, smoked meat and earthy savouriness.

Michael Cooper 2022

5* | The refined, very age-worthy 2019 vintage was estate-grown in Hawke's Bay and matured for 16 months in French oak casks (60 per cent new). Deep and youthful in colour, it has concentrated, ripe blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, seasoned with nutty oak, impressive complexity and fine, supple tannins. Best drinking 2024+

Bob Campbell, The Real Review 2023

94/100 | Supple, elegant syrah with plum, cherry, berry, fresh herb, black pepper and spicy oak flavours. Complex wine with nicely layered flavours supported by vibrant acidity

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 character. A brooding dense palate, well-structured with ripe dark fruits and silky ripe tannins. Plush & lingering. 

Bottle maturation will be rewarded.

Selected for the 2019 Gimblett Gravels Annual Vintage Selection, one of the top 12 Gimblett Gravels wines from the 2019 vintage.
