Radburnd Cellars, founded by legendary winemaker Kate Radburnd, is a boutique winery located in Hawke's Bay. Known for its focus on crafting small-batch, high-quality wines, the cellar showcases Kate’s decades of expertise and passion for winemaking. Their portfolio features meticulously produced Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon, reflecting the region’s diverse terroir and ideal growing conditions.

They work with vineyards that have the perfect characteristics for the wines they want to make, and with growers they know and trust and who prize sustainability and minimal intervention. Kate and her team are hands on in every step of the process - from picking grapes in the vineyard, to tasting and testing every barrel.

The result is a range of elegant, balanced wines which reflect the vintage variations which are a characteristic of cool climate wine making.

Radburnd’s carefully selected vineyards around Hawke’s Bay are similar in that they are either Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand accredited or organic, but they each have local characteristics, which reflect the wine styles they want to make.

The stunningly attractive Mangatahi vineyard site is inland, moderately elevated and has free draining shingle plains sloping gently to the flinty Ngaruroro River. Soils in the Bridge Pa Triangle are based on free draining red metal gravels overlaid by alluvium.

Selected sites on the gravelly soils of the old Ngaruroro River are free draining and low in fertility, resulting in struggling vines producing fruit of great concentration.
And the beautiful and sheltered Dartmoor Valley site is inland and elevated with natural terraces. The vineyard has sandy loam over gravel soils, left behind as the Tutaekuri River eroded its path to the sea.
