Martinborough, Wairarapa, New Zealand
Both Viticulture & Oenology graduates from Geisenheim University, Kai Schubert and Marion Deimling together set out on their mission to produce the best possible Pinot Noir. The German duo travelled around the globe to find the perfect plot, but nothing stuck until they reached New Zealand. Enamored with Martinborough region, they established Schubert Wines in 1998, and from there, became one of the most prolific Pinot producers of New Zealand, if not the world! A fully certified organic winery, Schubert Wines continues to astound the scene with its quality wines, having collected many awards along the way! A 93+ score for both the 2013 Marion’s Vineyard and Block B Pinot Noirs in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, and most notably, 2013 Marion’s Vineyard was one out of seven wines rated “Outstanding” (95-97 points) during a Decanter Magazine panel tasting of 172 wines). We say to that – mission accomplished!
