Still my favourite expression from the Kumeu River stable of wines. Power and elegance, purity and speaks of site. Lovely fresh fragrances of peach and quince, there's a nutty, lewis road salty dairy fragrance adding breadth and complexity. Fragrant and floral with some barrel spices and nutty lift with a raw cashew nut suggestion. Wonderful texture and mouthfeel, contrasting acid-line accentuating flavours of grapefruit and wood spice, peach and white stone soil complexity. A delicious wine, youthful still and deserves cellar time. Will reward if you have patience. Long finish, salty and fine. Best from 2023/2024 through 2030+.

Rich, opulent chardonnay with ripe apple, lime, nectarine, white peach and wet slate and mineral characters. A weighty, textural wine with a strong fruit focus supported by savoury, yeast lees and subtle oak flavours.

This wine is produced from a vineyard owned by Tim and Angela Coddington, whose grapes have contributed to the blend of Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay since 1998. It is a vineyard that produces very rich and unctuous Chardonnay that we have long believed could make an excellent single vineyard wine. It was decided to give Coddington single vineyard status in 2006 to reflect this vineyard’s unique character.
 
Winemakers Report
 
The single-vineyard Coddington wine is strongly coloured and richly ripe in the yellow peach and apricot spectrum, with a background of toasted oak and hazelnut. It is the biggest style in our range, and satisfyingly rich as such, but also nicely balanced with its acidity.
