Kumeu River Coddington Chardonnay 2025

Kumeu River Coddington Chardonnay 2025

• Region: Auckland
• Sub-Region: Kumeu
• Varieties: Chardonnay

Vineyard Grown on the heavier clay soils of the Coddington vineyard, a site known for producing Chardonnay with richness and breadth. The vineyard tends to deliver a more generous expression than the more linear Hunting Hill, while still maintaining the signature Kumeu River balance and precision.

Wine A fuller, more opulent expression of Kumeu River Chardonnay, with aromas of peach, ripe citrus, toasted almond, and oatmeal. The palate is broad and textural, showing creamy depth, ripe fruit concentration, and a lingering, savory finish framed by fresh acidity.
