Organic Vineyard of the Year – New Zealand Organic Wine Awards 2024
Gold Medal – New Zealand Organic Wine Awards 2024
Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"A vintage with low yield and small berries, led to a wonderfully concentrated yet elegant and restrained wine. White flowers, florals, lemongrass and kaffir lime are present on the nose. The palate shows great intensity and focus, with passionfruit and smokey oak coming to the fore. The textural nature of barrel fermentation and aging is framed by vibrant acidity allowing for great drive and length."
Reviews for previous vintages below…
5 Stars & 95/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review (2019 Vintage)
"Hand-harvested and fermented in French oak barrels (30% new) using endemic yeasts. Rich, weighty, textural wine with ripe stone fruits, struck-flint, cashew nut and wood-smoke flavours. A complex, stylish sauvignon."
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, July 2021 (2019 Vintage)
"The fume style is signified through aromas of wood smoke or soil, sometimes both. This attribute adds complexity, depth and character to wine, but must always be on a foundation of excellent fruit. Aromas of fresh citrus and apple, fresh herbs of sage and thyme and a subtle yet clear scent of wood spice and soil. complex, determined and youthful. On the palate – dry, crisp, salivating and complex. Fruit flavours mirror the nose with layers of lees and subtle flavours of wood spice then mineral and herb. Plenty of acidity and youthful charm, balanced and well made. Best drinking from purchase and through 2025+."

Set against the backdrop of the majestic Pisa mountain range, Amisfield is one of Central Otago's largest single estate vineyards. Inspired by childhood holidays in Central Otago, founder John Darby sought to master this breathtaking yet challenging high country, believing it ideal for cool-climate viticulture. After an exhaustive search, he discovered Amisfield Farm, a former merino sheep station, and planted the first vines in 1999. The vineyard thrives in a continental climate with cold winters, hot summers, and low rainfall.
In 2021, Amisfield completed a five-year transition to organic viticulture and was named Organic Vineyard of the Year in 2020 and 2022. Their philosophy is to nurture nature at every step, resulting in wines of exceptional purity, intensity, and vibrancy.
Designed by architect Charlie Nott in 2006, Amisfield's modern winery features a 600-tonne production capacity. Here, winemakers employ a hands-off approach, allowing nature to shape the wines.
Amisfield's organic vineyard produces wines with distinctive regional characteristics. Visitors to the Cellar Door can indulge in tastings of Pinot Noir vintages and a range of white wines, guided by passionate staff eager to showcase the unique flavours of Central Otago.

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.

Whilst they don't have any serious competition they do stock some great wines and their specials often are just that!

Unfortunately I just think the service could have been friendlier. I knew what I wanted so should have been an easy customer so started telling my list to the not overly friendly person who asked me if I was ok. They didn’t have everything I wanted which I was fine with but then the two people at the till didn’t even say hello or offer any sort of acknowledgement which I think is quite rude. This was my first time in and I just felt like it should have been a little better. I’ve always thought these guys were the Ballantynes of the Christchurch Liqour scene but the inside just reminded me of a pop up warehouse. Sorry team, but I think you could look and be better.

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.

An amazing selection of wine from pretty much all over the planet! Price are decent too and for sure if you are good at spotting the right wine can get some amazing wines to a more than fair price! Parking is a bit of an issue but worst come to worst can park at the south city carpark and walk 100m!
