Uncorking The Secrets To Winemaking At Matawhero

Kirsten and her husband Richard took on the Matawhero Wines legacy during the 2008 financial crisis and haven't looked back since.

To celebrate International Chardonnay Day (which comes around every Thursday before the last Monday in May) Matawhero Wines Owner Kirsten Searle spills the beans on her company's unique Chardonnay-making journey.

She talks about the winery's move from local markets to international shelves, her and her husband's journey in the industry so far and more.

Listen to the full chat between Kirsten Searle and Dominic George above.
