About Coda

Coda — from the Italian and Latin for "tail" or "final word" — is a musical term for the concluding passage of a piece, the culminating expression that brings everything together. As the pinnacle expression of the Nadeson Collis sparkling program, Coda draws from the finest base wines, carefully matured and blended to deliver layered complexity of extraordinary richness and precision. Extended lees aging brings richness and depth, while the cool-climate Geelong terroir ensures the freshness and mineral purity that defines great Australian sparkling.
