Schubert Winery

Welcome to Schubert Wines and our unique and cosy Cellar Door in Martinborough! We are open most days from 11am till 3pm, look out for our sign and entrance on Huangarua Road.

One of our friendly and knowledgeable team will guide you through a selection of our currently available wines while introducing you to our history, organic vineyard practices and winemaking.

Groups are welcome by a prior appointment - due to the nature of our business we are unable to offer winery or vineyard tours. Please note there is a nominal service charge of NZ$ 5.00 per person.

The quality of a wine is determined by the quality of the grapes; therefore wines of high quality are essentially made in the vineyard. Consequently the emphasis in our winemaking is on keeping the quality that comes with the grapes from the vineyards. This means gentle processing in all vinification processes and starts with the way of picking the grapes. All fruit is carefully selected, picked by hand and collected in small, perforated baskets. We only place 2 layers of grapes in a basket and thus any squeezing and damaging of the grapes is avoided. In these baskets the grapes are transported to our winery.

The winemaking regime, for our red wine, white wine and rosé wine follow traditional European techniques.
