Business model built at the intersection of three themes
Modern,
cost-competitive
winemaking
Affordable
Luxury
Differentiated
marketing
Purcari is positioned at the
intersections of three themes:
▪ Modern winemaking: the
company is brand, as opposed
to appellation centric and runs a
cost-efficient business
▪ Affordable luxury: as an
aspirational brand, Purcari
wines are an example of
affordable luxury, building on a
heritage dating back to 1827
and ranking among most
awarded wineries in Europe
▪ Differentiated marketing: the
company is not afraid to be
quirky about the way it
approaches marketing,
prioritizing digital channels and
focusing on engaging content as
opposed to traditional
advertising

Source: Company information
▪ Vineyards located in close proximity to processing + use of modern efficient
New Holland machinery = delivery of harvested grapes within 2 hours to
processing facilities which preserves natural qualities of grapes
▪ Hand-harvesting + use of small boxes, to prevent oxidation in transit
▪ The cooling of whites before processing increases aroma, in particular for
aromatic grapes, like Sauvignon Blanc or Feteasca Alba
▪ Thermovinification for red wines – moderately heating up grapes prior to
fermentation for greater color and tannin extraction
▪ Modern tanks allow for controlled and closely monitored vinification process
which creates rich fruity wines, without extracting excessive alcohol from
wine bases, matching latest customer preferences
▪ Use of membrane filtering under nitrogen to provide microbial stability along
with clarity of wine. Nitrogen minimizes the levels of oxygen present,
preserving flavors and significantly improving shelf life
▪ Micro-oxygenation introduces oxygen into wine base in a controlled manner,
adding to roundness and balance of wines
▪ Storage for reds in Seguin Moreau oak barrels in air-conditioned environment
to ensure right temperature and humidity level
▪ Inspection, tasting, and laboratory tests of wine base before and after
aging in oak barrels.
▪ Blending on different various varieties to create unique blends and ensure
consistency of wine character across vintages
Key interventions to ensure superior quality of Group’s wines

Commentary
• Global area under vines, has gradually decreased between
2000 and 2015 from 7,782 ha to 7,515 ha, according to OIV;
• Overall, the corresponding share of wine grape production
(versus other grape uses), has dropped from 57% to 47%,
during the same period, from which one can infer an
approximate 20% drop in vine surfaces used for wine grape
cultivation;
• Much of the drop was driven by the EU, where regulation has
been in place limiting planting rights and subsidizing so called
grubbing-up schemes, in an attempt to address the oversupply;
• In China, among the very few countries which increased the
vineyard plantations, only 12% of grape output goes to make
wine (the rest being fresh and dried grapes);
• Global wine consumption in 2017 is estimated at 243m hl, with
a corresponding production of 247m hl – a significant departure
from the structural over-supply that plagued the market for
decades;
• For instance, the average global consumption to production
ratio has been at 0.85, on average, between 1995 and 2004;
0.90 for 2005-2014 and estimated as high as 0.98 in 2017,
impacted also by a poor harvest season, which is limiting the
supply.

• Wine trade has grown strong, as the sector
becomes increasingly global
• Regulation limiting new plantations,
grubbing-up subsidies and generational
change has led to a decrease in vine areas
• The resulting supply decrease,
combined with rising demand, has

▪ Unlike beer or spirits, wine production is more prone to quality
fluctuations. The Group has demonstrated the ability to keep
raising the bar quality wise, as illustrated by the mounting
number of medals won at top global competitions
▪ The ascending trend confirmed by the rising average Vivino
scores, a proxy for consumer feedback, as is the example of
Rosé de Purcari, which is Purcari’s #1 SKU by volumes and
#1 Rosé sold in the Romanian market*

▪ Circa 1 in 2 Romanian premium
consumers who tried Purcari
become regulars
▪ Nevertheless, as a relative new
entrant into the Romanian market,
Purcari still has a weaker brand
Familiarity compared to the more
established wineries
▪ Only 51% of Premium consumers, in
large Urban areas (target group) are
familiar with Purcari
▪ Significant upside remains, by
increasing the awareness of Purcari
brand, which should cascade down
in higher numbers of Regular
consumers
