" I can't think of a Chardonnay producer anywhere that could match that line-up, Burgundy included " Tim Atkin MW Named after the family who first farmed the site, the Kumeu River Coddington Chardonnay is the richest and most opulent of the estate’s single-vineyard bottlings. The Coddington vineyard, planted on clay-rich soils, tends to produce Chardonnay with more weight and depth compared to the finer, more linear Hunting Hill or the structured Mate’s Vineyard. It’s a wine that offers immediate appeal thanks to its richness and creamy mouthfeel, but it also has the balance and acidity to age beautifully over the next decade.
