ABOUT THIS WINE
Schubert Estate Pinot Noir is a 100% Pinot Noir from the Wairarapa region of New Zealand. The wine is produced by Schubert Wines, founded by German winemakers Kai Schubert and Marion Deimling, who sought out the Martinborough terroir for its ideal growing conditions. The estate's vineyards, with vines planted from 1989 onwards, are managed using certified organic practices. The region's climate, featuring cool nights and diurnal temperature variation, contributes to low yields and concentrated grape characteristics, which are central to the estate's winemaking philosophy.
