Grenache Blend / GSM

GSM is a red wine blend consisting of Grenache, Syrah/Shiraz, and Mataro (also known as Monastrell or Mourvèdre). Originating in France’s Rhône Valley, GSM’s New World milestones includes its establishment in the mid-1800s in Australia and a 1980’s revival in California. Grenache earns pole position in the GSM acronym as the traditional dominant partner in the blend, adding soft, candy-sweet berry flavour. This is complemented by Mourvèdre’s deep colour and tannins, along with earthy notes and gamey complexity. Shiraz’s contribution is dark fruit flavour and muscular structure, and an aromatic complexity including smokey aromas. GSM is a luscious, lovable crowd-pleaser.

  In business for 26 years , this is a fascinating wine emporium. The selection is truly surprising.

  Absolutely fantastic experience with Vino Fino for our wedding. They do offer a free chiller trailer with large orders but unfortunately someone got in just before us to have that on our wedding weekend. The staff are lovely and helpful, we had wonderful interactions with Paul, Dean and James. We did not have any idea of what we wanted to supply to our guests but the recommendations made were top notch and the guests loved them. The amount recommended worked out well for us, they work with your budget and they have a buy back option if you do not use all the wine. Would recommend for events or if you do not know wines like us and you are looking for recommendations.

  Excellent service. We wanted to bring wine from NZ homw to Europe, but shipping rates were so high and shipping times were so long that we decided to take it on the plane instead. The team here helped us package up 18 bottles of different wines we had tasted at wineries in Central Ontago and Malbourgh for a flight and everything arrived safely to Europe. Many, many thanks. We have some happy friends and family now!

  Best wine shop in Christchurch! Caters to all tastes and budgets. Be prepared to spend a while in this store as the options are endless. The staff are very knowledgeable and their recommendations/reviews are spot on. I do not bother buying wine from anywhere else and if i'm in a rush - simply order it online. 10/10

  I've just ordered online for a friend in another city and I was impressed with the ease of use on the website. Wines are listed with excellent information on tasting notes and professional reviews, as well as being well categorised for easy search. I also called the store with a query about ordering online and they were so incredibly helpful and friendly on the phone. Highly recommend

  I am overseas and ordered 6 bottles of wine for a gift. The wine selection on offer was very impressive and at great prices. The order was delivered the same day and because it was a Christchurch address there was no charge for delivery. I will certainly be using Vino Fino again.

  Love the selection and help they offer to people like myself with less expertise. These guys are experts and their product, service and selection is some of the best in town.

  Not only do they sell delicious wine at great prices, but the owners of the store couldn't be more lovely. We had to cancel our wedding twice due to covid-19 and they have been amazing in helping us return and sell our alcohol. They have gone above and beyond. Highly recommend.
