Daniel Schuster Wines Winery

Established in 1986, Daniel Schuster Wines Ltd is a small, quality-focused producer of classically structured wines with individual character that reflects the unique growing conditions of our Estate Vineyards. The company is jointly owned by the Schuster and Hull families, who share a common interest in grape growing, winemaking and the appreciation of fine wine with food. The winery is located in the fast emerging wine producing district of Waipara in North Canterbury and our wines are produced entirely from grapes grown on our three estate/ managed vineyards; the Omihi Hills Vineyard and Hull Vineyards in Waipara and the Petrie Vineyard in Rakaia. While many New Zealand wineries strive to produce intensely fruity wines with a bold influence from oak, Daniel Schuster Wines pursue a more refined style of wine that possesses subtlety of flavour, softness of texture and harmonious balance that is further enhanced by partnership with food. The unique environments of our Estate Vineyards are ideally suited for the production of premium quality wine from Pinot noir , Riesling and Chardonnay. Wines under the regional 'Twin Vineyards' label are made in a more supple style for earlier drinking while the vineyard 'Selection' wines are only made in the best vintages to genuinely reflect our special 'terroir' and are structured to reward longer term cellaring. Our average total production is less than ten thousand cases which enables us to devote the extra time and special attention required to produce 'hand-crafted' wines. While we are undoubtedly proud of what has been achieved in such a relatively short time, the further maturation of our vineyards will ensure that even better wines are yet to come.
