Kumeu River Coddington Chardonnay 2019, Auckland
An impressive bouquet and palate with complex touching on beguiling bouquet with aromas of cashew and smoke, white peach, apple and apricot then mineral salts and calm even layers of oak begin to layer through. On the palate - a mirror image of the nose with a silky textured mouth feel, contrasting acidity, delicate creaminess and soft nutty cashew cream layer. Long finish with a whisper of white smoke. Fabulous wine, an excellent opportunity to stock the cellar with a Chardonnay example that will last for ten years, if not longer.
