In 1851 New Zealand's oldest existing vineyard was established by French missionaries at Mission Estate in Hawke's Bay. Britain entered the European Economic Community ending trade terms so New Zealand moved to products with potentially higher economic returns and so wine production increased. In the 1970s, Montana in Marlborough started producing wines, the first production of a Sauvignon blanc of great note appears to have occurred in 1977. Also produced in that year were superior quality wines of Muller Thurgau, Riesling and Pinotage. These successes and from the early results of Cabernet Sauvignon from Auckland and Hawkes Bay launched the industry with ever increasing investment, leading to more hectares planted, rising land prices and greater local interest and pride.New Zealand is home to what many wine critics consider the world’s best Sauvignon blanc, One critic said that drinking one's first New Zealand Sauvignon blanc was like having sex for the first time.
