schubert wines - history
| |
SCHUBERT is a new winery in New Zealand founded
by Kai Schubert. Kai is a graduate from the German Viticulture and
Oenology University in Geisenheim and his dream had always been
to establish his own vineyard and winery one-day. This dream came
true in form of "Schubert Wines" which is located in Martinborough
in the Wairarapa Valley and operated by his partner Marion Deimling
and Kai. |

 They
are both German and had been looking for an ideal area to grow premium
Pinot Noir for quite a while. They searched in several countries
including the U.S. (Oregon, California), Australia and France …
but in the end, the Wairarapa in New Zealand was the most interesting
region to them. |

In October 1998 Kai acquired a small, established
vineyard in Martinborough and about 40 hectare of bare land just
north of Martinborough, at Dakins Road. On the land at Dakins Road
the development with high density planting started in spring 1999
and now 12 hectares are under vines. |
