Great innovation begins with an exceptional grape variety. Bringing it to the market is a journey of its own.
We are honored and proud that tiqi™ has been awarded Varietal Innovation of the Year by M&S
At Grapa Global, we know that the journey from breeding an exceptional variety to seeing it on the retail shelf is a long one. It begins with distinctive genetics, remarkable eating qualities, and the conviction that a grape has something genuinely new to offer consumers.
With tiqi, we saw the opportunity to take that innovation further, creating a brand that would reflect the unique character of the varieties behind it.
M&S recognized the potential of tiqi from the outset, embracing not only the exceptional varieties but also the brand identity, design, and packaging. Their willingness to introduce something genuinely new to consumers reflects the forward-thinking approach and commitment to innovation that mirror our own aspiration at Grapa. It is what makes M&S such a valued partner.
Our sincere thanks to Marta Esteban, Ghenadie Coroi, and the M&S team for their trust and partnership. This award marks a proud milestone for tiqi and a shared achievement that makes it all the more meaningful.
