Schubert

Kai Schubert and Marion Deimling, both Geisenheim University Viticulture & Oenology graduates from Germany established Schubert Wines in 1998. Having worked with winemakers like Erni Loosen of Dr Loosen Estate, Bernkastel in Germany as well as in various vineyards across the world, and travelling through regions like Oregon, California, Australia and parts of Europe, it wasn't until arriving in Martinborough in the Wairarapa province of New Zealand that Kai and Marion felt they had found what they were looking for. In spring of 1998 they acquired a small established vineyard in Martinborough and 40 hectares of bare land just north of Martinborough, at Dakins Road followed by plantings from scratch in 1999 and 2000.
