Wine Schubert, “Selection” Sauvignon Blanc

Schubert, Sauvignon Blanc – a dry white wine with aromas of fruit and spices, fresh and elegant taste. Wine is made from grapes of Sauvignon Blanc, which is grown in the Wairarapa, in the southeast part of the island, located in Cook Strait. Cool spring and summer of 2012 led to a slow ripening fruit, so harvesting began three weeks later than usual – from April 26 to May 3. Then the grapes are pressed and subjected to partial maceration. Fermentation took place at a controlled temperature in different containers. Vintage 2012 was bottled October 25, 2012. Storage capacity of wine is 5 years.

Winery “Schubert” was established in 1998 by two graduates of the German University of Viticulture and Oenology in Gessenhayme – Kai Schubert and Marion Deymlingom. They got a lot of experience, having worked at Ernie Luzena on “Dr. Loosen Estate” in Germany as well as in other vineyards in different countries, but their dream has always been to create its own winery. They carefully chose the place for its future winery in regions such as Oregon, California, Australia, in some parts of Europe, but really they drew Wairarapa region in the southern part of New Zealand. After studying about 100 plots of land in New Zealand, two young men picked up in the Wairarapa, which, in their view, ideal for their favorite Pinot Noir and its clones. Both sites were acquired in 1998. Vines in the vineyards “Schubert” planted in the European style – tight enough. A distinctive feature of the production is very limited amounts of grapes and therefore wine at its very high quality. Wine “Schubert” repeatedly awarded various prizes. Best known wine “Schubert Pinot Noir” and “Schubert Cabernet Sauvignon”, the last of which was twice recognized as the best New Zealand Cabernet. All wines are distinguished Schubert fruity style and balanced.
