About Radburnd Cellars

Radburnd Cellars was established in 2017, with the single purpose of Kate making her very best wine from each vintage without compromise – using the best fruit, the best equipment and the best resources.

We make a single tier of wines in very limited volumes – representing the best, not the most. These are special handmade wines you won’t find anywhere else, made to be enjoyed and shared with friends and family.

Kate Radburnd, Winemaker & Owner

Kate came to New Zealand after graduating from Roseworthy Agricultural College, South Australia in 1983. Her first job was with Vidal, part of the Villa Maria Group where she learnt all the ropes of winemaking and fell in love with New Zealand cool climate wines. After moving on to Pask to become winemaker, shareholder and then running the company, she came to realise winemaking was where her heart was.

It was those early family dinners where Kate learned about wine and all the important things that go with it – generosity, connection, expression and enjoyment. They’re as meaningful as ever and define what our wines are all about today.
