No.1 Family Estate

No.1 Family Estate is renowned for its dedication to crafting exceptional Méthode Traditionelle wines in Marlborough, New Zealand. Founded by Daniel and Adele Le Brun, the winery specialises in producing traditional sparkling wines using time-honoured techniques passed down from generations of winemakers in Champagne. For over 40 years, No.1 Family Estate has pioneered this method in the region, benefiting from Marlborough’s ideal climate and soils.

Their wines are made exclusively from handpicked grapes grown in their own vineyard in the Wairau Valley. The winery focuses on three main grape varieties: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, all of which are classic Champagne clones. The wines are handcrafted using the finest first press juice, and traditional fermentation methods, ensuring a perfect balance of elegance and finesse.

No.1 Family Estate produces a signature range that includes a non-vintage Blanc de Blancs, Rosé, and a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as vintage wines crafted only in the best years. With meticulous attention to detail, their winemaking process captures the essence of the Champagne method, resulting in wines with fine bubbles, rich flavours, and long ageing potential, celebrated both in New Zealand and internationally.

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.

Possibly the best wine shop in New Zealand. I've been coming here for 11+ years. Excellent, interesting wines at a range of price points; friendly, personal and knowledgeable service. If the wall of Sauv Blanc, Pinot Gris, Shiraz and Pinot Noir at the supermarket doesn't do it for you, you need to sign up for Vino Fino's email. They work hard to get sharp prices on very good wines.

Been a longtime customer here. Great range with reasonable prices. Free delivery over $150 if order online which is even better. Keep an eye on their deal and usually you can find some really great deals
