In 2006, the Brajkovich family decided its plush, peach-laden character deserved a solo release. The 2024 vintage, from vines now over 30 years old, delivered one of the site’s lowest-ever yields, concentrating its hallmark richness into something even more compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"448\" data-end=\"862\"\u003eHand-picked, whole-bunch pressed and wild-fermented in French oak, this Chardonnay spends 11 months on lees, completing full malolactic fermentation. The result is a wine that’s silkier and more generous than its stablemates, with ripe stonefruit depth, white floral lift and a creamy, savoury undercurrent. It’s an unhurried wine, carrying its opulence with poise, equally captivating now or in six years’ time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"1040\"\u003eCoddington has become the textural counterpoint in the Kumeu River portfolio, proof that a single site, handled with restraint and precision, can offer both power and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"1040\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1042\" data-end=\"1059\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1062\"\u003eNOSE\u003cbr data-start=\"1066\" data-end=\"1069\"\u003e– Ripe \u0026amp; floral\u003cbr data-start=\"1084\" data-end=\"1087\"\u003ePeach, white flowers, and a hint of crushed shells.\u003cbr data-start=\"1138\" data-end=\"1141\"\u003ePALATE\u003cbr data-start=\"1147\" data-end=\"1150\"\u003e– Creamy \u0026amp; layered\u003cbr data-start=\"1168\" data-end=\"1171\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eSilky stonefruit with preserved lemon, salted nuts, and a saline twist.\u003cbr data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1245\"\u003eFINISH\u003cbr data-start=\"1251\" data-end=\"1254\"\u003e– Long \u0026amp; poised\u003cbr data-start=\"1269\" data-end=\"1272\"\u003eMineral persistence with lingering savoury detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1832\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1326\" data-end=\"1349\"\u003eReviews \u0026amp; Accolades\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1349\" data-end=\"1352\"\u003e\u003cem data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1783\"\u003e\"The 2024 Coddington Chardonnay is alive on the palate with preserved lemon rind, tendrils of crushed shells and layers of brine. It is electric, in its way. There are salted and crushed nuts on the middle palate and length, which uncoils through the finish that allows a second and third look at the detail inherent within. This is very exciting and also creamy. It was tasted as a tank sample prior to filtration and bottling.\"\u003c\/em\u003e – Erin Larkin, The Wine Advocate, 94–96 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1834\" data-end=\"2015\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1834\" data-end=\"1852\"\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1852\" data-end=\"1855\"\u003eStyle - White Wine\u003cbr data-start=\"1873\" data-end=\"1876\"\u003eVarietal - Chardonnay\u003cbr data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"1900\"\u003eCountry - New Zealand\u003cbr data-start=\"1921\" data-end=\"1924\"\u003eRegion - Kumeu\u003cbr data-start=\"1938\" data-end=\"1941\"\u003eVintage - 2024\u003cbr data-start=\"1955\" data-end=\"1958\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eBottle Size - 750ml\u003cbr data-start=\"1977\" data-end=\"1980\"\u003eABV - 13.5%\u003cbr data-start=\"1991\" data-end=\"1994\"\u003eClosure - Screw Cap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kumeu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41991159545943,"sku":"KRCODVCH-24","price":94.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/9f9f765d-2877-4cf1-bb3e-0b6a03b84b25.jpg?v=1758669032","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/kumeu-river-coddington-vineyard-chardonnay-2024","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
