"Alwyn Corban - the legendary gentle giant of Hawke’s Bay and the great-grandson of Assid Abraham Corban, the Lebanese immigrant that established Corbans Wines. Alwyn completed a masters degree in oenology in California then rather than returning to work in the family company he established Ngatarawa in the early 80’s.

He made a heap of great wine and built a number of superb international brands. Ngatarawa was sold to Mission Estate a couple of years ago and Alwyn and his son Abraham have now partnered up to create AC Wines"

Labour weekend 2002 was a special time for our family where we commemorated 100 years of family winemaking in New Zealand.
Four generations gathered in Hawkes Bay to share a special weekend together & each member of the Corban family planted a Syrah vine in the Centennial Vineyard.
All ages took part in the vine planting, ranging from kids to uncles & aunties in their late nineties. Our Centennial Syrah is wine made from this special vineyard. Available soon.

This week we're celebrating 200 years of NZ Wine.

This week we're celebrating 200 years of NZ Wine.

The first grapevines were planted in the Bay of Islands by Samuel Marsden on September 25th , 1819. 200 years on, the industry has grown significantly. It has a strong international reputation as a maker of fine wines from a number of incredible wine regions, varieities and producers. This week we'll be sharing a few photos of our own heritage to celebrate.

This is a recolorised image of our Great (Great) Grandparents Assid Abraham and Najibie Corban in the vineyard, 1930s.
