TIKI Wine & Vineyards Overview

March 2015

“This winery with vines first planted in 2005 has

very quickly established itself on the wine map.”

Michael Cooper – New Zealand’s pre-eminent wine writer, (May 2012)

1. An introduction to TIKI

Welcome to TIKI, a new and exciting New Zealand vineyard producing a

range of award-winning wines.

A brush with death in an avalanche nearly 10 years ago helped Royce

McKean to see the wisdom of his Maori ancestors care and love for the

land.

To reflect this reverence for the land of his great-great-grandfather,

Ngati Uenuku chieftain Tiki Tere Mihi, Royce and wife Sue named

TIKI Wine & Vineyards in his honour.

TIKI is committed to sustainable winegrowing and to working with the

environment without compromising quality. We care for our vines under

the guiding Maori principles of Kaitiakitanga: guardianship, protection and

preservation of the earth.

SUPPLY: We work with distributors and retailers to provide

high quality New Zealand wine.

COST: Our size allows us to keep our wines cost competitive.

SUSTAINABLE WINEGROWING: We grow our grapes

sustainably with minimum use of agrichemicals, herbicides,

insecticides or pesticides, treating the land with the respect it

deserves.

2. TIKI’s mission

TIKI’s mission is to make sustainably farmed premium

New Zealand wines that are available at competitive prices

in all channels of the global wine market. We compete in

quality and value with the larger New Zealand wine

companies..

3. TIKI’s story

Royce McKean’s family has been farming in New Zealand for over

1000 years.

The first wine produced under a TIKI label was from the 2009

vintage. Since then we have won 34 gold medals/or five star

equivalent and six champion trophy’s for our wines.

Our wines are produced primarily from our vineyards in the Upper

Wairau Valley in Marlborough. We also market small volumes of

Chardonnay from Hawke’s Bay and Pinot Noir from Central Otago

in the TIKI product range.

The key varieties we produce are Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris,

Chardonnay, Pinot Noir Rosé, and Pinot Noir.

4. Our unique position

TIKI Wine & Vineyards is the only producer of wines exclusively sourced from

vineyards in the Upper Wairau Valley.

Our vineyards are located 60km inland from the East Coast and sit at an altitude

of 220-250m above sea level. The vineyards and the style of wines that we

make are strongly influenced by a continental climate in contrast to the more

moderate maritime climate closer to the coast.

Key varieties grown in our Upper Wairau Valley vineyard are

those best suited to the cool climate and unique terroir of this sub-

region and include Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir.

We employ only the best viticulturists and winemakers to expertly

manage the vineyards and to make TIKI’s wines. The viticulture

and winemaking team work closely together to ensure that the

grapes are harvested in optimum condition for winemaking.

The Continental influence allows full flavours to develop through

the high daytime temperature while retaining elegant acidity levels

through the cooler nights. This results in riper, tropical, gooseberry

aromas and flavours with a defined structure, minerality and

acidity, fresh, well-balanced and herbal spectrum.

5. Our family farms sustainably

An important part of TIKIs company philosophy is to be

environmentally responsible and to use sustainable

practices. As a family-owned New Zealand business, we

believe we have a responsibility to ensure that New

Zealand’s natural resources are protected for future

generations. We care for our vineyards under the guiding

principle of Kaitiakitanga: guardianship, protection and

preservation of the earth.

TIKI is a member of Sustainable Winegrowing New

Zealand (SWNZ) which provides a best practice model for

vineyards and wineries involving the sustainable

management of land and resources to meet the needs of

today without adversely impacting the needs of tomorrow.

We graze sheep in our vineyards over the winter months which

reduces the need for machine mowing and also cuts down our

use of herbicides.

9. Brand portfolio

TIKI Estate wines are a blend of the very best parcels of fruit

selected from across our three Marlborough vineyards to make

the very best wine possible. The winemaker aims for purity and

freshness and a food friendly style. This is our flagship and most

widely distributed range of wines under the TIKI brand.

TIKI Single Vineyard wines are a pure expression of our terroir

and place. They are made from a single parcel of fruit that we

believe best represents our vineyards and our unique location in

the Upper Wairau Valley in Marlborough. The soils of these

single vineyards and their unique alpine climate provide

distinctive flavours, fine acidity and elegance to the wines.

TIKI KORO is our premium range of small limited release wines

hand crafted from the very best small parcels of fruit from around New

Zealand. KORO is Maori for grandfather and the wine is named to

honour Royce McKean’s great grandfather Chief Tiki Tere Mihi and

pays homage to the land of his ancestors. This range has two wines, a

Hawke’s Bay Chardonnay and Central Otago Pinot Noir.

Maui Range

The MAUI range of wines takes their name from MAUI, the

demi-god who as legend tells us captured the sun and pulled New

Zealand out of sea.

MAUI was a great adventurer with an inquisitive nature and a

fearless spirit, attributes that are the very heart of the MAUI

range of wines.

MAUI wines are vibrant and refreshing with crisp flavouroffering exceptional value for money.

Alpine Valley is a name synonymous with the vast mountain

ranges in the South Island of New Zealand.

This range of wines reflects the purity, vigour and cool climate of

the south.

Wines in the range are from our vineyards in the Upper Wairau

Valley in Marlborough.

This is the best value range in the portfolio and includes

Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris.
