2022 Kumeu River Coddington Chardonnay
Kumeu River
Auckland, New Zealand
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. - Michael Brajkovich MW, Vigneron
"Taut and tangy chardonnay with grapefruit, gunpowder, white-fleshed peach, oyster shell and green apple flavours. The wine has a firm backbone of acidity with a dusting of bright tannins. High-energy, mouth-watering wine that needs a few years to mellow and let the flavours integrate." - 93 Points, Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review
