HistoryAssid Abraham Corban purchased a {{convert|4|ha|acre|sing=on}} block of rural land for £320 in Henderson. Although Henderson is now suburban Auckland, at the time the block was in a rural area quite some distance away, which he named Mt Lebanon Vineyards. The original plantings were Black Hamburgh, Chasselas, Hermitage, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The first vintage was in 1908, coinciding with the local electorate voting in prohibition, which meant he was unable to sell wine from the property. Assid's son Wadier took over wine-making in 1916, and by the 1920s the Corban family were the largest winemakers in New Zealand. Development of different vineyards by the five sons of Assid Corban continued until 1963 when the partnership of the five brothers was converted into Corban Wines Ltd.[3] By the 1960s, Corbans produced New Zealand's first commercial Müller-Thurgau, Pinotage, and Chardonnay wines, and were pioneering many new developments in winemaking such as using cultured yeast and temperature-control during fermentation, and the use of stainless steel tanks and press machinery. At the same time however, the family struggled to finance increasing competition with Montana Wines. New Zealand food wholesaler Rothman Industries (later Magnum Corporation) took a shareholding, and by 1979 had taken full control.[4] In the 1980s Corbans was also producing wines under the Stoneleigh and Robard and Butler labels. Today, the Corban family are no longer associated with Corbans wines; Alwyn Corban set out in 1981 to establish Ngatarawa Wines in the Hawke's Bay, now owned by Mission Estate.[5] References1. ^>{{cite news | url = https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=152197 | title = Montana buys out Corbans | author-first = Dita | author-last = De Boni | date = 20 September 2000 | work = The New Zealand Herald | accessdate = 1 September 2018}} 2. ^{{Cite news | title = Pernod Ricard completes sale of New Zealand wine brands | publisher = William Reed Business Media | work = BeverageDaily | date = 4 January 2011 | accessdate = 2018-06-23 | url = https://www.beveragedaily.com/Article/2011/01/04/Pernod-Ricard-completes-sale-of-New-Zealand-wine-brands}} 3. ^{{cite news | title = We are the Corbans | author-first = Shelley | author-last = Greco | date = 28 February 2014 | newspaper = Western Leader | publisher = Fairfax Media | url = http://www.stuff.co.nz/auckland/local-news/western-leader/9771396/We-are-the-Corbans | access-date = 2 September 2018}} 4. ^{{cite encyclopedia | author-first = Michael | author-last = Cooper | author-link = Michael Cooper (wine writer) | title = Corban, Assid Abraham | work = Dictionary of New Zealand Biography | date = 1996 | publisher = Te Ara: the Encyclopedia of New Zealand | url = https://teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/3c31/corban-assid-abraham | access-date = 2 September 2018}} 5. ^{{cite journal | url = https://www.noted.co.nz/currently/history/how-a-lebanese-immigrant-pioneered-one-of-nzs-most-dominant-wine-companies/ | title = How a Lebanese immigrant pioneered one of NZ's most dominant wine companies | author-last = du Fresne | author-first = Karl | journal = The Listener | date = 17 February 2018 | access-date = 1 September 2018}} Further reading
