Kumeu River Coddington Chardonnay 2024 - Aukland, New Zealand

For its Coddington Chardonnay, Kumeu River sources grapes from the Coddington family vineyard, known for its distinct richness. Despite the vineyard being the label's lowest-yielding in 2024, the fruit was incredibly concentrated and plush, hand-harvested and whole-bunch pressed before fermentation in French oak barrels. The result? A nose of ripe peach and white flowers and a silky, balanced palate.
