Schubert Pinot Noir Marions Vineyard 2020

Schubert Wines is a boutique winery founded in 1998 by Kai Schubert and Marion Deimling, both trained at Germany’s renowned Geisenheim University. After working in prestigious wine regions across Europe, North and South America, and Australia, they set out to find the ideal location for Pinot Noir. That search led them to Martinborough, in New Zealand’s Wairarapa region, where they saw both the potential of the land and the chance to build something enduring.

From the beginning, Kai and Marion have shaped Schubert Wines with equal parts ambition and precision - Kai bringing bold vision and global perspective, Marion grounding the project in technical excellence and quiet discipline. Their partnership is at the heart of the winery’s success. Today, Schubert Wines is internationally respected for wines that are expressive, structured, and uncompromising in quality, with the vast majority exported to discerning markets across the world.

Marion’s Vineyard is a selection of predominantly two Pinot Noir clones; the Pommard and the Abel clone. Grapes were hand-picked from the organically farmed vineyard between March 20th and April 4th, 2020. 100% were de-stemmed and cold-macerated before being fermented in stainless steel vats and left on skins for 3 weeks. The new wine was aged in 35% new and 65% used French oak barriques for 18 months. The wine was bottled on January 28th, 2022.
