Tasting notes
Very pale. Actually quite a savoury nose, even though it’s supposed to be the most flamboyant of the range. Passion fruit in abundance on the palate, however, and some lime-syrup character. Quite big. Not better or worse than the Estate blend, just different – a bit more opulent. (JR)

The 2020 Chardonnay Coddington is a mid-weight wine with youthful oak-derived clove and smoke characters. A citrus-like line of acidity pervades its supple core. The 2020 is concentrated and firm with real grip as well as ripeness. It's all presented in a round, seamless palate. This is a complete and balanced wine.
The 2020 Coddington Chardonnay is ripe and plump in the mouth, tailed by very fine, chalky acidity and tannins. Far from being boisterous or explosive, this unfolds with an orderly, organized outlay of flavor and texture, each quality woven into the other. Exciting drinking here, with wonderful, piercing intensity of flavor. 13.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
This is a wine of real purity and elegance with fresh sliced peaches and lemons, as well as some light pastry notes. The palate is fine, unwaveringly long and pure with enlivening acidity through the finish. Stunning. Drink or hold. Screw cap.
