Cabernet / Merlot

France’s Bordeaux wine region has given us both Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, the time-honoured, leading varietals that are combined to give us a blend of expressive fruity roundness and dark red colour known as Cabernet Merlot. New Zealand winemakers have been plying their craft to this blend for 150 years, achieving a highly approachable combination of power and elegance by harnessing Merlot’s ripe fullness and Cabernet Sauvignon’s intricacies of structure.

Excellent wine store! Probably the best in town. You can find wall kinds of wine and from around the world. I even found a wine from my hometown Uruguay which is not easy to find at all on this side of the globe.

Thank you Vino Fino Team, Thank you so much for your help with the drinks for our wedding day! We couldn’t have been happier with the service from Vino Fino supplying us with a Chiller Trailer to use on the day! You made getting the wine for our wedding easy and fun. It was low stress, and we truly appreciated being able to bring back the unopened wine. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family. We’re so grateful!

All the way in Christchurch, but occasionally order from this store as it has wines I like that I can't source elsewhere, at a great price too. Always great service, and will keep using them.

I had been searching for a very specific wine and I finally found it here. Not only did they have the wine I was searching for, they had a beautiful collection of other wines. If you are a wine lover, be sure to check out Vino Fino. The staff were very knowledgeable on the types of wine and the wine makers. I will be coming back again for sure.
