Marlborough Wine Region

In little over 20 years Marlborough wine region has earned a global reputation for excellence. The largest producer of wine in New Zealand, Marlborough has firmly stamped its mark on the "new world" wine scene.

New Zealand’s largest wine producer, the Marlborough wine region has earned a global reputation for viticultural excellence since the 1970s.

Free draining soils and warm growing conditions mean the South Island region is perfectly suited to wine production. Producing a full range of wine varieties, Marlborough turns out arguably the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world, as well as top-notch Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Methode Traditionelle sparkling wines.

Most Marlborough vineyards are found around the main centre of Blenheim, with some located as far north as Picton.
