Coddington Chardonnay, Kumeu River

Note:

***** 5 Star Wine / 96 (Jane Skilton MW – Inside Burgundy) // Very ripe and smoky. Shows classic Coddington aromas of grilled pineapple, rockmelon and red apple but is sleek, focussed and not at all blowsy. Concentrated and weighty, the new oak comes through right at the end of the palate. Finishes with hint of reduction and smoke. Drink from 2028-2038. Tasted Aug 2025. ***** 5 Star Wine
