Steve and Cecilia Schubert are primarily grapegrowers, with 12 ha of shiraz and 2 ha of viognier. They purchased the 25-ha property in 1986, when it was in such a derelict state that there was no point trying to save the old vines. Both were working in other areas, so it was some years before they began replanting, at a little under 2 ha per year. Almost all the production is sold to Torbreck. In 2000 they decided to keep enough grapes to make a barrique of wine for their own (and friends’) consumption. They were sufficiently encouraged by the outcome to venture into the dizzy heights of two hogsheads a year (since increased to four or so). The wine is made with wild yeast, open fermentation, basket-pressing and bottling without filtration. Exports to the UK, the US, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong and China.

Schubert Estate (wines) was established in 2000 by Steve and Cecilia Schubert. Situated on Roennfeldt Road, Marananga the Estate is surrounded by other vineyards producing the fine fruit used in flagship Barossa Valley wines made by internationally renowned wineries such as Torbreck, Greenock Creek, Two Hands and Penfolds. From the initial 2000 vintage of one hogshead of wine the Schuberts have been encouraged to produce a little more each vintage – just enough to supply their mail orders and a little for export and as such remain to be one of Australia’s true small boutique or “garagist” wineries. Schubert Estate’s flagship wine, Goose-yard Block Shiraz is a single vineyard & basket pressed wine and it has proven consistency in quality - achieving, with each vintage made, a rating of 5 Glasses: 94 -100 . Outstanding. Wines of the highest quality, usually with a distinguished pedigree. Other wines produced by the Schuberts are The Gosling; The Lone Goose; The Sentinel and The Gander. Recently added to their stable is a white wine Le Jars Blanc (it's French for 'the white gander') and is a 100% estate grown viognier.The Schubert Estate red wines are all produced from the Schubert's Roennfeldt Road vineyards, handcrafted, open fermentation, basket pressed, French-oak barrique maturation and bottling without filtration. Exports are mainly to the United Kingdom, Germany, China and a little to Canada.
