Ripe orchard fruit and citrus cream glide through Kumeu River Coddington Chardonnay 2022, framed by a precise spine of acidity and a gentle, toasty richness from well-judged oak. Notes of lemon curd, peach and pear layer with hints of hazelnut and blossom, giving a sense of both generosity and control, and the finish is long, savory and beautifully composed.

Roast chicken with lemon and thyme; seared scallops with brown butter; creamy lobster pasta
