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.

  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.

  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.

  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 NZ, the staff are amazing and the selection is outstanding. Don't risk buying unknown wines at the supermarket, go to these expert guys and get hooked up with the best options possible relative to your taste.
