Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"From Skypunch vineyard, which lies on the slope next to Home vineyard on Black’s Ave. We’re leasing and managing Julianne and Conor’s vineyard here and we’re excited. In conversion to organic with BioGro 5202.
Aromas of preserved lemon citrus, flint, almond, cardamon, and ginger. The palette is structured and vibrant with unique saline tension. Flavours of new season pear and apricot, white peach and vanilla bean. Un-fined, unfiltered."
Reviews for the 2023 vintage below…
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, September 2023 (2023 Vintage)
"Fragrant and aromatic bouquet with scents of fresh yellow apple and pear flesh, there’s a touch of cider and pilsner adding depth and a natural mineral quality. Fresh, plush and juicy on the palate with flavours that mirror the bouquet, medium+ acid line and balanced, chalky finish. Well made, ideal as an aperitif or with fresh seafood or pasta. Best drinking from 2023 through 2028."

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.

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!
