They’re one of NZ’s most iconic wine producers on the world stage. The family are pioneers in the NZ wine industry. They produce some of the very best Chardonnay you’ll find anywhere in Aotearoa. They’re the Brajkovich family and you’ll find them in the north Auckland suburb of Kumeu. Next to a river.
The Coddington vineyard was previously owned by Tim and Angela Coddington and their grapes have greatly contributed to the success of the world famous Kumeu River Estate Chardonnay. In 2006 winemaker and Master of Wine Michael Brajkovich made the call to slip the Coddington vineyard into his single vineyard series of wines.
The latest Kumeu River Coddington Chardonnay 2025 release is here, this is what winemaker and Master of Wine Michael Brajkovich had to say about this vintage – “This wine is produced from a vineyard 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 we have long believed could make an excellent single vineyard wine. In 2006, we decided to give Coddington single vineyard status to reflect this vineyard’s unique character.”
