Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"Ripe stone fruit aromas of peach and nectarine, with notes of ripe mandarin freshly baked brioche, nougat, vanilla and a hint of clove, add to the complexity and interest on the nose. A silky attack with sweet fruit flavours of peach nectarine and clove in the rich textural mid palate and with hints of nougat and vanilla balanced with fine oak and lingering grapefruit citrus finish.
Trays with whole bunches are placed in the winery cool room for overnight chilling. A long slow gentle press cycle is used and pressing can take up to 3 hours. Free run juice is put straight to barrel for fermentation. The wines are lees stirred after ferment, and the wine remains sur lee until final blending. About 80% underwent malo-lactic fermentation with total time in barrel of 10 months."
5 Stars & 95/100 Candice Chow, Wine Chat (2024 Vintage)
"Pure & lifted aromas of peach, citrus, floral, vanilla, warm brioche and delicate spice. An irresistible creamy mouthfeel carries pristine fruit, struck by spice and acid tension, unfolding toasty details and lending a lengthy, elegant finish."
Rated Excellent & 94/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2025 (2024 Vintage)
"An excellent bouquet, modern, ripe, taut and enticing. Aromas of grapefruit and white peach then scents of barrel and stony soil mineral ideas. As the wine opens out in glass it becomes more complex and intriguing. A dry wine on the palate, tension and texture then core fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet. Fine tannins from both wood and fruit and a backbone of acidity with a gentle flinty quality. Poised and new, a wine that has power and impact, flavour and texture. Best drinking from late 2025 through 2030+."

Excellent wine store! Probably the best in town. You can find wall kinds of wine and from around the world. I even found a wine from my hometown Uruguay which is not easy to find at all on this side of the globe.

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.
