Our Story
After graduating from Germany’s renowned Geisenheim University, Kai Schubert and Marion Deimling travelled through the great wine regions of Europe, the Americas and Australia in search of the ideal place to produce world-class Pinot Noir. Their journey ultimately led them to Martinborough in New Zealand’s Wairarapa region.
Here they found the cool climate, ancient soils and naturally low yields they were looking for. Since establishing Schubert Wines in 1998, Kai and Marion have built an international reputation for expressive, complex wines—particularly Pinot Noir—that reflect the distinctive character of the Wairarapa.
Schubert takes an organic and environmentally conscious approach in the vineyard, while gentle, minimal-intervention winemaking and carefully hand-picked fruit preserve the quality and character of each vintage.
