Winery notes (NV)
"Brambles rose this year is a blend of Pinot Noir rose, some carbonic some direct press, and a blend of Syrah and Riesling that were co fermented to produce a party on ones palate. The result is a soft, textural, brightly fruited, low alcohol that is thought provoking but not overbearing. Barrel & Amphora. Bottled August 2023."
93/100 Kasia Sobiesiak, The Wine Front, July 2024 (NV)
"Red fruit core and citrus acid line, the mash-up of red and white grapes works very well here. Blood orange twist and tang, raspberries and leafy bits, savoury, stony finish. It’s very refreshing, with substance and character but also an easy drink, smashable so to speak."
David Walker Bell, WineFolio.co.nz, June 2024 (NV)
"Brambles Rosé made with Pinot Noir, Syrah and Riesling. The majority of grapes come from the Luxston Vineyard in the Eyrewell Forest, Oxford. In fact, 80% of the wine is 2023 vintage Pinot Noir, and 20% is 2022 Syrah/Riesling blend from North Canterbury, so it is non-vintage. It has the soft ripe flavours that a rosé needs to deliver, with a teasing tannin and mineral undertow that makes it interesting. Syrah adds a blueberry muffin note."

92/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, June 2022 (2021 Vintage)
"It’s crisp and sleek at once. A jovial slick and cut of rose, highly perfumed, sweet-sour and pleasingly bitter as a stage for light spice, herbal notes and a pleasing, refreshing grassiness. Delightful rose, lots of fine texture and a good sense of refreshment factor. Go forth!"

Bryterlater wines are crafted with intent, honesty, and deep respect for the process. Using organically farmed grapes from North Canterbury, they employ minimal intervention practices in the winery to let the wines speak for themselves. Embracing the unique character of each season, they produce vibrant spring wines and complex, age-worthy styles. Their goal is to create thoughtfully made, juicy wines that capture vineyard energy and bring immense joy to those who experience them.
And as for the wines? Petina Petillant Naturel Pinot Noir is poised and precise, barrel-fermented and bottled on lees for body and flavour. It's clear and clean with notes of raspberry cheesecake, Aperol, yogurt, and sea mist. Swell Petillant Naturel Sauvignon Blanc returns with a similar process, yielding a salty, lemon-lime, yogurt, and fresh acidity profile. Still Life Sauvignon Blanc offers tropical and citrus flavors with brioche and texture. Svelte Riesling is dry and textural with citrus and juniper notes.
Pinot blends offer white peach, strawberry, and coconut aromas. Ernest Pinot Noir features cherry, clove, and soft tannins, while Frederick Pinot Noir has dark fruits and fine tannins. Yonda Red Field Blend and Brambles Rose and Orange blends are vibrant, fresh, and complex, perfect for daily enjoyment.
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.

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!
