Born and raised in Nelson, New Zealand, Richelle’s family has a long-standing history in agriculture and fishing, and more recently in winemaking and viticulture; a tradition Richelle is proud to continue.
Richelle Tyney joined the Greywacke team in 2021. She deftly manages the winemaking programme, as well as travelling to the markets to lead tastings and spread the word on all things Greywacke.
Richelle firmly believes in minimal intervention winemaking and that wine should express its turangawaewae (Maori: a place to stand). Her vinous passion is pinot noir and she loves working with fruit from the Southern Valleys, a hillside terroir producing Marlborough’s most exciting examples.
