Coddington

2006 Kumeu Chardonnay

The Kumeu River Coddington Chardonnay from the 2006 vintage is a stunning expression of New Zealand's Kumeu region. This white wine showcases a medium-to-full-bodied profile, characterized by its lively acidity that brings a refreshing brightness to the palate. On the nose, expect enticing aromas of ripe stone fruit, complemented by hints of citrus and subtle oak nuances. The fruit intensity is prominent, with flavors of luscious peach and apricot leading the charge. The wine features a delightful balance of gentle tannins, adding a soft structure that elevates the overall experience. Held together by a dry finish, this Chardonnay is a delightful testament to the craftsmanship of Kumeu River, illustrating the vibrancy and elegance of New Zealand wines.

New Zealand

New Zealand is one of the most isolated countries on Earth, and the small country surprised everyone when its crisp, focused wines began impressing critics in the 1990s. New Zealand first made its impact on the wine world with Sauvignon Blanc from the picturesque Marlborough region. Zingy, floral and herbaceous, these mouthwatering Sauvignon Blancs thrilled wine lovers. Pinot Noir is another success story here, becoming blissfully elegant with beautiful cherry aromas in regions like Central Otago and Wairarapa. While Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir star in New Zealand, stunning whites like Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay, and complex reds such as Syrah and Merlot, also find a welcome home in this beautiful and rugged land.
