Cirro Wines

Cirro was founded in Marlborough in 2009 by winemaker David Tyney and is now run with his brother Adam as a small family-owned producer near Renwick. Before Cirro, David worked at Yalumba and in California, studied at Lincoln University and held senior winemaking roles in Marlborough.

The home vineyard is farmed organically, with cover crops, closely spaced vines and irrigation beneath the soil. Two terraces shape the site: heavier clay above, and stony gravels and loams below.
