Tasting Notes 

The TIKI is a hand-crafted treasure (taonga) of New Zealand which, when gifted, bestows good fortune and love on others. They craft their wines with that same spirit in mind. The Single Vineyard wines are made from hand-selected parcels of fruit from their vineyard and are an expression of time, place and their people.

Colour

Intensely and brightly coloured wine with a ruby-red hue

Nose

Ruby red in colour this wine has a bright cherry nose supported by complex red and dark fruits, spiced cherry, cedar, mushroom and floral characters on the nose

Palate 

The palate highlights bitter chocolate, cherry and cinnamon spice notes supported by fine acidity and a flowing finish. Nicely balanced and drinking beautifully.

2020 Tiki New Zealand Single Vineyard Pinot Noir

Vintage

The 2021 vintage in Waipara, North Canterbury was warm and dry - good growing conditions. Heat summation was well up on average while rainfall was 50% less than normal over the last three months before harvest. The lower rainfall meant that disease pressure was not present, allowing the winemaker to be patient and instruct the picking of the fruit in absolute pristine condition and when tasted at their premium. The effects of this were enhanced fruit flavours creating a wine of great balance.

Winemaking

The fruit was harvested in excellent condition and gently handled in the cellar using traditional burgundian methods and aged for 12 months in French oak barriques.
