Kumeu River Coddington Chardonnay 2023

Crafted from the renowned Coddington vineyard—a key contributor to Kumeu River’s blends since 1998—this single-vineyard Chardonnay showcases opulent fruit and structured elegance. The 2023 vintage reveals vibrant aromas of ripe peach, citrus zest, and tropical hints, layered with toasted hazelnut, vanilla, and subtle minerality.

On the palate, expect a luscious yet balanced profile—creamy texture from skilled oak integration, bright acidity, and flavors of lemon curd, apple, and grapefruit. While youthful now, this wine has excellent aging potential, promising deeper complexity with time.

A standout in Kumeu River’s lineup, the Coddington Chardonnay delivers intensity, freshness, and a long, mineral-driven finish—perfect for those who appreciate rich yet refined New Zealand Chardonnay.
