In Hawke’s Bay, the 1998 vintage is widely regarded as one of—if not the—greatest on record. An exceptionally hot and dry season delivered intensely concentrated, beautifully ripe fruit, particularly from the gravelly soils of our home in the Gimblett Gravels. Cabernet Sauvignon was the undeniable star of the year: the warmth produced boldly structured wines with deep dark-fruit character, firm yet polished tannins, and outstanding ageing potential.
In celebration of Pask’s 40th vintage, we knew there was no more meaningful way to honour our history than by releasing the final, treasured barrel from our iconic 1998 harvest. This single-barrel, 27-year-old Tawny Cabernet Sauvignon, laid to rest in oak in April 1998 and hand-bottled on 20 August 2025, captures a moment in time now long past. With only 236 bottles in existence, this is a once-in-a-generation release, crafted to be savoured, shared, and remembered.
We are so delighted to share this very special piece of Pask's history with you and very much hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
