Whale of an opportunity for wine company

A boutique Marlborough winemaker has signed up as a sponsor of the National Whale Centre in Picton. Johanneshof Cellars founder and winemaker Edel Everling said when she was contacted about sponsoring the centre she was keen to help out. “We try to stay local with our support because that’s where we live and where we want to help.” The Whale Centre was an amazing initiative, Everling said. “Even though it’s local it reaches far. It’s quite a global thing.”
