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."
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.
Great selection of wines, Friendly staff, well supported the choice.

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!
