Since the beginning of the 2000s, New Zealand has stood out internationally for the production of Chardonnay and Sauvignon with unique and extraordinary characteristics. The vine was introduced at the beginning of the 1800s during the colonization of the English. After the devastation of phylloxera, and attempts to cultivate Franco-American hybrids, the first vineyard of European vines was planted in the Marlborough area only in 1973. Since then it had an impetuous development, which led to the rebirth of New Zealand winemaking in the 1990s with white wines produced from Sauvignon and Chardonnay grapes which are today real references for many producers in the world.
