Bruce Corban, the Director, is a great grandson of A.A Corban, who established what was to become Corbans Wines Ltd, in 1903. Bruce's experience in the industry spans more than 40 years, with particular emphasis on the propagation of grafted grapevines. Many of the techniques in use today were pioneered by his father, Joseph Corban MBE, who was widely regarded as the father of New Zealand viticulture. Bruce heads up a dedicated team who share the same pursuit and passion for producing the best vines in New Zealand. Bruce's wife, Helen, has been beside him since the inception of Corbans Nurseries Ltd, and brings with her years of practical knowledge and experience in all facets of grapevine propagation. Their daughter, Hana, joined the company four years ago, after returning from spending a year in Canada, where she gained experience working at a Canadian Winery. She brings a fresh and modern perspective that greatly enhances the company's performance. Eileen and Fono have worked closely together for many years and are the best of mates. Initially working with Bruce's father, Joe, between them they have over 50 years of experience, and bring a rare and valuable dynamic to all areas of Corbans.
