Winery notes (NV)
"Pelorus Rosé is the benchmark for New Zealand sparkling rosé wine, drawing on over 30 years of heritage from the original Pelorus. Crafted using the time-honoured méthode traditionnelle, Pelorus Rosé has reinforced the reputation of the original Pelorus with its elegance, finesse and complexity."
5 Stars & 95/100 Bob Campbell MW, The Real Review, February 2020 (NV)
"Pale pink/orange. Fresh, appealing méthode with subtle cherry, strawberry and raspberry flavours together with oyster shell, bread crust and a hint of toast. A nice combination of youthful freshness with a savoury edge from bottle development."
5 Stars Michael Cooper, 2021 Edition (NV)
"This classy, non-vintage wine is a blend of Pinot Noir (mostly) and Chardonnay, hand-picked in the Wairau Valley, partly fermented in old oak vats and French oak barrels, and disgorged after at least two years maturing on its yeast lees. The sample I tasted in late-2021 is salmon pink, with a fragrant, complex bouquet. A delicious wine, it shows excellent vigour and harmony, with strong, strawberryish, spicy flavours, yeasty, lively and lingering."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, October 2021 (NV)
"Brioche and cherry, baked goods and red melon, a deep and fine lees autolysis, a mineral earthy quality and overall developing complexity. Fine, fresh, crisp, leesy and abundant in elegant flavour and finesse. Soft, fresh and silky textured mousse, fine light red fruit core with minerality and autolysis power. Balanced with a perfect light weight appeal, complex and long. A delicious wine ready for drinking from purchase and through 2026+."
Rated Excellent, 5 Stars & 93/100 NZ Wine Rater, March 2022 (NV)
"An attractive, deep, pink hue with a voluminous mousse. Savoury and complex on the nose with an appetizing array of strawberry shortbread, pink grapefruit, aperol and lees-derived vegemite notes. Dry, tasty, full-bodied and toasty on the palate with strawberries and cream, a fresh, saline finish and lingering biscuity complexity."
4 ½ Stars & Top 10 Cuisine Sparkling Tasting, October 2019 (NV)
"A delicate salmon-hued rosé with fresh berry aromas and a lovely bead. This gently weighted wine continues to grow through the palate with fresh red berries, toast and eastern spices that provide both structure and finesse."

Cloudy Bay is proudly numbered among Marlborough's trailblazing first five wine makers, who staked their claims at a time when it was virtually impossible to envision how the area would be transformed and thrive as a world-leading wine region. David Hohnen, Cloudy Bay's founder, had faith in the land's latent viticultural potential which gave him a headstart on developing some of its most suitable land.
Cloudy Bay takes its name from an expanse of water named by explorer James Cook. The sea was cloudy at the time, full of sediment from recent flooding run-off. The moniker captures the evocative quality of the transitory nature of New Zealand's land and seascapes - befitting for an accomplished wine producer.
At the heart of Cloudy Bay's wine-making philosophy is the desire to get the absolute best out of their world-class vineyards in Marlborough and Central Otago - carving out an unmistakable style made possible only through a deep understanding of grape and terroir combinations.
Central Otago is the world's most southern wine region and Cloudy Bay works hard to harness the best of its continental terroir, in a location where site selection is critical, to produce distinctively Central Otago notes of dark fruit and wild mountain herbs. Further north in Marlborough, Cloudy Bay sauvignons burst with bright expressive aromatics, with beautiful citrus and stone fruit characters shining forth.

Relatively new to wine and liquor, but I have found the experience of trying new wines and liquor enjoying with the help from the staff at Vino Fino. Very friendly and tolerant of my basic questions!
Yong Tai Beh April 22, 2022
Amazing customer service. Vino Fino arranged a gift wrapped, hand delivered, chilled bottle of champagne for the morning of my best friends wedding, as I was stuck in the UK with COVID. A beautiful gift. It was like nothing was too much trouble for them. I was even able to dictate a small message. Thank you for your excellent service!

Graham Morgan March 22, 2022
Great range of wines.You will find some not so common grape varieties are available here.
They appear to be competitively priced. Service was excellent. The shop is split over three levels. Not sure how you'd cope if you are mobility impaired.
