Back in stock, and back at just $20! This juicy, dark, and dangerously drinkable Cabernet Franc from the incredible 2021 vintage is flying off our shelves (and finding its way into our own glasses more than we’d like to admit).
A longtime Vino Fino staff favourite, this wine is now even better value with a price drop that makes it hard to pass up.
Cabernet Franc might have a reputation as a blending grape, but Hawke’s Bay winemakers know better, and this example from Paritua Winery proves why. It’s vibrant, complex, and absolutely worth discovering if you haven’t already.
Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Our Stone Paddock Cabernet Franc has a bright red ruby edge, a beautifully scented nose of red currant, blackberry and floral aromas of violets and jasmine, with hints of sweet cocoa powder, and dried herb. The palate has a silky attack with flavours of red currant and cassis black plum with a clean crisp acidity. It is medium bodied with ripe supple tannins, a lively mid palate, and a long, elegant finish."
Rated Excellent & 93/100 Cameron Douglas MS, November 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"Dark fruited, toasty and baling spices led bouquet. Flavours of dark chocolate and blackberry, roasted plums and some dark clay earthy qualities. Dry, firm, textured and youthful, flavours mirror the bouquet with acidity, tannins and core fruit flavours finding harmony with energy and youthfulness. Best drinking from 2026 through 2030+."
5 Stars & 93/100 Candice Chow (2021 Vintage)
"This Cabernet Franc shows power, concentration and true to varietal. Fruit's purity shines through, unfolding minty, herbaceous details and a fine tannin structure."

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.
