Kumeu River Chardonnay, Coddington, Kumeu — 2019 – Wine Enthusiast – Editors’ Choice – 95 Points
95 points
From a low-yielding single vine-yard, this white opens with smoke and flinty mineral notes weaving between concentrated yet fresh fruit. The palate is lighter than expected thanks to a line of crystalline acidity and a filigree texture. It has exceptional structure and neatly integrated oak that lets the layers of flavor shine.
