Kate Radburnd has been named the F.A.W.C! Hawke's Bay Legend 2024.

"Throughout her 38-year career, Kate has not only excelled in winemaking but has also played a crucial role in shaping the wine industry's future."
Kate Radburnd has seen plenty of challenges in the Hawke's Bay wine industry during her 41-year wine career, including the destruction wrought by Cyclone Gabrielle in vintage 2023, and the resilience and recovery of the region in its wake.
