Radburnd Chardonnay 2019

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.
