Syrah / Shiraz

When Australians first planted Syrah in the 1830s, they called it Shiraz. The precise reason is lost in the mists of time but having a distinct name has proved to be useful because of the distinct big-burly-bright-and-full-of-fruit Syrah style that we have the unremitting Aussie heat to thank for. In recent years it has been New Zealand’s Syrah turning the heads of industry luminaries, described by one as “the most exciting bracket of New Zealand red wines I have ever encountered”. So keep a bottle of Hawke’s Bay or Waiheke Island Syrah close by for when you need to enhance a dark-meat dish or for when you simply get a craving for a wine with elegant texture and bright, spicy flavours.

  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.

  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.

  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 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
