Merlot

When it’s not famously accompanying Cabernet Sauvignon as a Bordeaux blockbuster, Merlot, as a single varietal wine, is a full-bodied high-alcohol chart topper in its own right. Merlot’s classic ripe jammy fruit punch, in growing regions with cool to moderate conditions like New Zealand, is typically offset by an edge of fresh acidity. The most international of the reds, Merlot is easily grown in a wide range of climates, providing a wonderfully hedonistic challenge: work your way around the oh-so drinkable world of Merlot, savouring every step of the journey!

Deliciously drinkable Hawkes Bay — and exceptional value!

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.
