About Marlborough
Marlborough is Sauvignon Blanc, the Marlborough Sounds, and the ferry terminal at Picton where the two islands meet. Most of the wine New Zealand exports is grown here, largely around Blenheim.
Who a listing on Marlborough reaches
Marlborough readers are winemakers, vineyard contractors, marine farmers and the people who run the Sounds by boat. Cellar doors, bottle shops, mussel farms, water taxis and every business that meets the Interislander at Picton sell to them.
