New Gisborne winery
YIV.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, March 29. A winery costing more than $500,000 is to be built in Gisborne by Corbans Wines, Ltd, of Henderson. To be completed for the 1972 Gisborne grape harvest, the winery is part of a $2.5m capital expenditure programme designed to boost the company’s handling capacity from the present 650 acres of grapes to 1000 acres by 1974. The new winery will handle grapes from 250 acres of vines—about 1500 tons—a year. But it will not produce completed wines. Instead, juice will be pressed from the grapes, left to stabilise for a period, and then shipped to the company’s Henderson winery in railway tanker trucks.
