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.

  A great place that stocks a huge range of New Zealand but also Australian wines... As I don't have a clue about wine I appreciated all the help I can get... I notice they ship to wherever... Also they wrapped it up nice a secure for my flight back to Australia...thank you...

  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!

  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.

  Best wine retailer in Christchurch. Awesome selection and when they special the wine you know that it is good value. They don't offload the bulk stuff

  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
