Schubert was founded by German Kai Schubert and partner Marion Deimling in the Wairarapa region just northeast of Wellington. Both are graduates of an enological university in Germany. In 1998, a small established vineyard was acquired in Martinborough and additional high density planting was started in 1999 with now 36 acres under vines. A small tasting room is located on the property.

2003 Schubert Wairarapa New Zealand Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $43. · A gorgeous nose of fresh Bing cherries leads to unctuous flavors of more cherries and spice. A soft and elegantly styled Pinot Noir that finishes a bit shallow and woody. Decent only. Reviewed April 16, 2006
