Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Charming aromas of roasted peach, fragrant red apple, mandarin peel and nutty cashew notes from the oak spice. The palate is rich, full and creamy textured, with ripe stone fruit, mandarin and nutty complexity. The flavours sustain well through the palate with a fine acid thread leading to delicious length and persistence.
From our family to yours, we have crafted this fine Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay for you to enjoy with friends & family on any occasion, – create the moment and make memories."
92/100 Cameron Douglas MS, April 2026 (2025 Vintage)
"A complete wine, vibrant and fresh, lively and youthful with aromas and flavours of red apple and peach and lemon with a seam fragrant spices from fruit and some barrel. A dry wine with a fresh salivating appeal framed by flavours of pomaceous, citrus and stone fruits with a finesse layer from wood spice and gentle grainy mouthfeel. Balanced and well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2029."

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.
