Wine Expert Note:

This Kumeu River Coddington Chardonnay is a truly special white wine from New Zealand. It has a rich golden color with a nose of ripe yellow and green apples, lemon curd, honey, and toasty oak. On the palate, this wine reveals layers of fresh fruit and creamy vanilla, with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. The acidity is nicely balanced and the finish is long and lingering.
