Description
"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. In 2006, we decided to give Coddington single vineyard status to reflect this vineyard’s unique character." - Winemaker Notes
"White peach and nectarine, lime rind, aniseed, a slight matchstick character with light cinnamon and cedar oak. It’s energetic and zesty, lots of flint and chalkiness to texture, a youthful juiciness to fruit, though gee it has some energy and the finish is crisp and very long. Cool and tight, a little lemon peel in the aftertaste. Delightful." - 95+ Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"The 2024 Coddington Chardonnay is alive on the palate with preserved lemon rind, tendrils of crushed shells and layers of brine. It is electric, in its way. There are salted and crushed nuts on the middle palate and length, which uncoils through the finish that allows a second and third look at the detail inherent within. This is very exciting and also creamy." - 94-96 Points, Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate
