Kumeu River Single Vineyard Chardonnay
- 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. In 2006, Kumeu Estate gave Coddington single vineyard status to reflect this vineyard's unique character.
- The single-vineyard Coddington wine is richly ripe in the yellow peach and apricot spectrum, with a background of toasted oak and caramelised hazelnut.
- This is the biggest style in their range, and satisfyingly rich while also nicely balanced with its acidity.
- Fantastic alternative to full-bodied white Burgundy, at half the price!

'Always punches above its weight - still young but drinking well (going to keep the rest of the case for a few more years yet). Light straw coloured; toasty nose mixing honey and white blossom (really opens out a day or two after opening); on the palate a precise attack of citrus: sweet lemon and lime flesh, finishing on dry lemon zest.' - The Buyer
