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.
The Coddington vineyard was the lowest yielding of all our Kumeu vineyards in 2024. The extra concentration and texture that low yields bring has enhanced the typically rich and peachy nature of this vineyard. With beautiful aromas of peach and white flowers the Coddington has a silky concentrated palate that lingers for a long time on the finish. Now over 30 years old this vineyard is producing wines that are approachable now but better with bottle age of 4 -6 years.Hand harvested
