One Vineyard, Three Chardonnays, One Charity Auction
When Kate Lattey and Koldo Santamaria planted their dream vineyard in 2020, they knew they wanted to work with winemakers who shared their passion for wine “and expressing what the land can say”.
Kate Radburnd has spent nearly 45 years making wine in Hawke’s Bay, much of that time working with fruit grown on the Gimblett Gravels.
"To have our permanent home here feels incredibly special,” she says. “I have known Dr Alan Limmer for over 40 years, the founder of Stonecroft winery. This winery is rich in history; Radburnd Cellars will be proud to carry that legacy forward, based on common founding principles, small batches of exceptional wine, based on what we believe Hawke’s Bay grows best.”
The purchase from Fistonich Family Vineyards marks the fourth site from which the winery has operated since it began in 2017, including Radburnd Cellars’ original winery, which was lost during Cyclone Gabrielle.
Stonecroft Wines remains owned by Fistonich Family Vineyards.
