Tiki Operations Manager and 2024 North Canterbury Young Viticulturist of the Year, Nick McArthur, spoke last week with online publication NZ Winegrower about the industry; what he loves about it; and the support he received leading up to his success in both the Regional Young Viticulturist of the Year and National Competitions. He and fellow Tiki workmate, Piper Eder, entered the regional competition this year.
"A number of leaders in our area offered help with my prep for the final…the same with Tiki – they have provided a lot of support and want me to succeed.” That’s typical of the “close knit” North Canterbury wine community, “who are always willing to help or share knowledge with one another”, he says.
Congrats again Nick, for your achievements in winning this year's regional competition, and securing 3rd place nationally. Very well deserved.
