AC 125TH PORT ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ‡ We are celebrating our 125th year AC 125TH PORT ๐Ÿท๐Ÿ‡
We are celebrating our 125th year of family winemaking in New Zealand. To mark the milestone, weโ€™ve begun work on a special Jubilee Port project. 

Inspiration was drawn from our family's handwritten 1910 Vintage notes. Among the pages were records of experimental blends and one simple line beside an old Muscat wine: โ€œvery good, make same again.โ€ We decided to take that advice - and build on it.

This harvest in Hawke's Bay, we completed a handpick of Muscat Blanc ร  Petits Grains - one of the oldest and most noble members of the Muscat varieties, celebrated for its intensely aromatic character. 

Alongside the Muscat, we have also blended portions of handpicked Pinot Meunier, Cabernet Sauvignon and Hermitage (Syrah) as a nod to the original vineyard plantings of our Great-Great Grandfather, Assid Abraham Corban, in 1902. The old notes showed these heritage varieties appearing throughout different blends at that time.

The 2026 wine has now been fortified. From here, it will mature in barrel for a few years, developing flavour, colour, structure & complexity, before a limited Jubilee bottling is finally released.

We look forward to sharing more with you soon ๐Ÿท
