Electoral district of Schubert Information & Electoral district of Schubert Links at HealthHaven.com

Schubert is an electoral district of the House of Assembly in the Australian state of South Australia. It is named after Max Schubert, the winemaker of the famous Grange Hermitage. The district of Custance was abolished and recreated as Schubert in the 1994 redistribution and covers much of the Barossa Valley wine growing district and rural areas to the east as far as the Murray River, along with northern parts of the Adelaide Hills. Main population centres include Nuriootpa, Angaston, Tanunda, Gumeracha, Birdwood, Mannum and Mount Torrens. The last redistribution saw the district lose Kapunda, Truro and Blanchetown to Stuart while gaining Gumeracha, Birdwood and Mount Torrens from Kavel. The electorate covers an area of 3,616.8 km².
