Coddington is one of Kumeu River's 4 single vineyard Chardonnays.This wine is produced from a vineyard previously owned by Tim and Angela Coddington whose grapes have contributed to the blend of Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay since 1998. It is a vineyard that produces very rich and unctuous Chardonnay that the winery long believed could make an excellent single vineyard wine. In 2006 they decided to give Coddington single vineyard status to reflect this vineyard’s unique character.
The estate was originally established in 1944 by Maté and Katé Brajkovich. Today, it is managed as a true family business. Melba Brajkovich is the Managing Director. Michael Brajkovich is Proprietor and Winemaker (New Zealand’s first Master of Wine). Milan Brajkovich is the Vineyard Director.

Organic & Biodynamic Farming. Bruno Bienaimé produces this Cremant du Jura Blanc de Blancs Brut Nature, 100% Chardonnay with fine, fresh bubbles that veer towards notes of apple and pear. On the palate, a lovely acidity balances the rest.
Taste: Highly expressive, bright, undeniably elegant and discreet, Krug 2004 combines citrus notes of all kinds, evoking the sensation of early summer mornings in Champagne.
Certified Organic. Taste: "The nose has a balance of power and restraint, with aromas of preserved lemons, river stones and jasmine. The palate is medium-bodied with a generous texture and high-tension acidity, showing notes of lime curd, orange zest"
