Description
Schubert Wines, founded in Martinborough by German winemakers Kai Schubert and Marion Deimling, has built a reputation for organic viticulture and crafting wines that combine New Zealand fruit clarity with Old World elegance. Their Pinot Noir Rose reflects this philosophy, made in a restrained, dry style that emphasises finesse over sweetness.
In 2023, fruit was hand-harvested from estate vineyards and gently crushed. A brief period of skin contact imparted delicate colour and fine phenolic structure before pressing. Fermentation was carried out at cool temperatures in stainless steel, highlighting aromatics and retaining freshness. The wine was bottled early to capture vibrancy and a pristine, youthful profile.
The finished rose is finely poised, showing lifted redcurrant, pomegranate and wild strawberry, accented by floral and mineral notes. A crisp acid line provides precision, while a subtle textural backbone adds interest beyond simple fruit. Elegant, refreshing and versatile, it is a refined expression of Martinborough Pinot Noir crafted for immediate enjoyment.
