Max Schubert AM (9 February 1915 – 6 March 1994) was a pioneering Australian winemaker, with Penfolds, who is best known as the creator of Grange Hermitage.

[2] Schubert was born to Lutheran parents in a German community on the fringes of the Barossa Valley, South Australia, a region renowned for its winemaking.

He is believed to have saved the life of another Australia soldier when Stuka dive-bombers wiped out his convoy in north Africa, killing 200 men.

[7][8] On returning to Australia, Schubert set about creating a wine for Penfolds that would similarly match the ability to age that he had seen in France.

[9] Schubert stated, "The method of production seemed fairly straightforward, but with several unorthodox features, and I felt that it would only be a matter of undertaking a complete survey of vineyards to find the correct varietal grape material.

[12] The 1955 vintage of Grange Hermitage was submitted to wine competitions beginning in 1962 and over the years has won more than 50 gold medals.

A Schubert created 1951 Grange became the most expensive Australian Wine to ever be sold, when it was bought for $142,131 AUD at auction in July 2021.

Created using Cabernet Sauvignon from the Coonawarra (Sharam's Block and Block 20) and Barossa Valley shiraz (Kalimna Vineyard), the Bin 60A became Penfolds' most successful show wine, winning thirty-three gold medals and nineteen trophies in a short timespan.
